Forever Ever After

I held the vessel
And then looked ahead
As tectonic plates moved under her mother's bed
You used to cuss me out
If I became unstable
Now my mind begins to wander
Was it for the cradle?
Cause I'm a swim upstream
And find the missing plot
Like a pony boy
In a parking lot
In a parking lot
And I'll love you forever, forever
Forever ever after, forever ever after
And I'll love you forever, forever
Ever ever after
Ever ever after
And I was in the shadows
Trying to understand
What it is to be human
More or less a man
I have seen it in the children, the children
Right back at me
I saw a ghost of my reflection
And it said you will see
I wanted to be a sinner, a sinner
And sin a hundred times
But we have born a moonchild
In our sweet paradise
In our sweet paradise

And I'll love you forever, forever
Forever ever after, forever ever after
And I'll love you forever, forever
Ever ever after
Ever ever after
And I'll love you forever, forever
Forever ever after, forever ever after
And I'll love you forever
And ever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and ever
And ever and ever

You're the opening credits to another me
You're the city walls round the cemetery
You're the wedding bell at the funeral wake
You're the firefly as the darkness breaks

And I'll love you forever, forever and ever
And I'll love you forever, forever and ever and ever
