I’m thrilled to share the official lyrics with you for “And Ever After”–they’ve meant a lot to me while working on the song and I hope they resonate with you, too.
Sadhouse Kiss – And Ever After
A chill cuts through our coats
We’re standing close outside the show
The sun goes down behind a highrise
while we fumble for our phones
The lights go out
The spotlight shines
We hear a few familiar lines
We take another sip, the music swells
and carries us away
Your hand in mine
we’re more than fine
remembering a simpler time
We’re high above our problems
though our hair is turning gray
We’ll fall apart together slowly to the music
and I’ll always sing
along with you until the day we die
and ever after
The chorus of our favorite song kicks in
The sweaty crowd begins to fade
and it’s just you and I
The room is ours tonight
And for a moment I even forget about the kids at home
the sitter and the mess we left
the pile in the sink
of unwashed plates and bowls and pans
the overflowing garbage can
I meant to take it out I swear
but I ran out of time like everyday
And so it’s worth the time away
from everything that tries to weigh us down
We’re feeling lighter with each lyric that we scream
The debt we make
The jobs we hate
The smiles we fake
The risks we take
The days are long
The list goes on
For now those things are gone
Your hand in mine
we’re more than fine
remembering a simpler time
We’re high above our problems
though our hair is turning gray
We’ll fall apart together slowly to the music
and I’ll always sing
along with you until the day we die
and ever after
