"Forever Ever After" lyrics

I held the vessel, then looked to her
As tectonic plates moved, under my best bed
You used to cuss me out, if I became unstable
Now my mind begins to wonder
Was it for the greater?
'Cause I'm a stem upstream, yeah
To find the missing blow
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 ever ever after

I was in the shadows, trying to understand
What it is to be human? More or less, a man
I had seen it in the children
Children, right back at me
Saw a ghost of my reflection and it said
"You will see"
I wanted to be a sailor, a sailor
Said a hundred times, be a boy of moonshine
In a sweet paradise, in a 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

Open [?] in front of me
The city walls around us set us free
When it fell, after the night
With the firefly as the darkness builds

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

And ever and ever and ever
Ever and ever and ever and ever
Ever and ever and ever and ever
