Ever After Always

It’s the moonrise taking shape
You got the whole world pressed to your face
And when you look ‘round all you see are stars
What they say - they don’t know
It’s like a paper cut - that seems to grow
Until all that hurt seems to feel like home

You’re down on your knees
In over your head
All the bad memories
Play over again
And heaven only knows
How far it’s really gone
You’re down on your knees
With your heart on your sleeve
And heaven only knows.

It’s a car crash every day
Your nightmare nothing you can say
So you scream out
But no one hears your cry
Can’t remember when you felt so alone
Nothing left to do so you go get stoned
And when you look ‘round all you see are stars

You’re down on your knees
In over your head
All the bad memories
Play over again,
And heaven only knows
How far it’s really gone.
You’re down on your knees
With your heart on your sleeve
And heaven only knows.

So don’t, don’t give up
‘Cause I know there’ll be brighter days
So don’t, don’t give up
‘Cause I know there’ll be brighter days

Hey, hey my beloved woman
I don’t know how to prove it, but I still feel the same
It feels like an old railroad station
You’re standing on the pavement as I roll away

I let the wind have its way with you, farewell love
One more wicked day with you after all
Ever after always

Time, It wasn't wasted
I can’t bear to taste it
The memories roll around
I’m fine, but I’ll be always chasing
I don’t know how to face it
My dreams fall through the ground

I let the wind have its way with you, farewell love
One more wicked day with you after all
Ever after always
This is the end

‘Cause I feel lost and torn
But I don’t care, I’m all yours
You Listen close and you will see
You’re the one, the only one for me

I let the wind have its way with you, farewell love
One more wicked day with you after all
Ever after always

Someday I'll find home
The picture in my mind
A place where I can go
And you'll be always mine

Always mine, ooh

Jealous love has passed
Like the seasons do
I can see the sun
I think I'm falling in love with you

You’re always mine, ooh

I hold my breath, no give-and-take
I could never walk away
The giving ground, no back-and-forth
I promise you I'm always yours
And you're always mine

Sometimes love is brief
Sometimes love takes time
Like the old oak tree
The two of us will rise
The two of us will rise

You’re always mine, ooh

I hold my breath, no give-and-take
I could never walk away
The giving ground, no back-and-forth
I promise you I'm always yours
And you're always mine

The old me came to town
And I sat beside him at a seaside bar
Slipping through his hands was your photograph
As he let go of everything he knew
I still feel like I’m letting go of you
I still feel like I’m letting go of you

'Cause those were the days, But something was wrong
I looked you in your face, and I told you my love was gone
That’s when it left

I chased love like a younger man
I tried to find someone to make me right
But I know now - no one can
You emptied me of everything I got.
I still feel like I’m letting go of you
I still feel like I’m letting go of you

'Cause those were the days, But something was wrong
I looked you in your face, and I told you my love was gone
That’s when it left

I’m so unsteady
'Cause I can’t lose and I don’t wanna win
I was never ready
I treated you like oxygen
I breathed you in, I breathed you in
And I let you go
