Ever Only After

Lyrics

I traced the lines of maybe on the walls I used to know Built a house of hesitation from the things I wouldn’t show I told myself it’s safer not to reach beyond the past Where “Never Only After” seemed much better than the crash

“Never Only After” becomes a shuttered door A place where you can hide And lock yourself inside “Ever Only After” is an offer to explore The courage to try- Where **your** dreams reside… “Ever Only After”

If the setting of the sun should lose its rosy hue The nighthawk’s call forgets the sadness it alone once knew The twinkling stars refuse to move in transit ’cross the sky Then “Ever Only After” will I stop and wonder why

As days dissolve and seasons fly like moments in the rain The cadence of a distant song still longing for refrain My eyes of love look past the years in morning’s sweet review Then “Ever Only After” will I share myself with you

In the chaos of “or,” we lost what we were for… Until “Ever Only After” Unlocked the shuttered door… “Ever Only After”
