Ever After

When I was younger I needed to be different
Create a whole new state of mind
(so I) so I grabbed my uncle's guitar
Learned all my favorite songs
(learned my favorite songs)
Until I could start writing mine
They told me to give up
(they told you to give up)
It's not worth the risk
(it's not worth the risk)
But ending up like you
The thought just makes me sick
(it just makes me sick)
Got me feeling sick
(woah) then six years later
(woah) is when I met her
(woah) we've come so far
Things just keep getting better

I had my own thoughts of leaving
Sick and tired of waiting
So patiently wishing for something of my own
Sixteen so bitter, my purple dress
Don't you remember, remember?

This story goes in so many directions
Don't ask me now, how we got here
Am I good enough, good enough
Good enough now?
Do you still have doubts?
Do I make you proud, do I make you proud?
This is the only place that feels like home
This is not a fairytale to me at all (at all)
This is the only place that feels like home
This is not a fairytale to me at all
This is not a fairytale

We met at work remember the time
I brought the pot to the party
You told me you don't get high (until yesterday)
We drive around sing harmonies
Those faces that you'd make
Don't think I don't know what they mean

Khaki shorts and dad hats
Pastel riffs and hazy taps
Didn't think they'd stick around
Once everything came crashing down

He had his own thoughts of leaving
Sick and tired of waiting so patiently
Wishing for something of his own
Thirteenth, September
Catalyst show don't you remember, remember?
(how could I ever forget, how could I ever?)

This story goes in so many directions
Don't ask me now, how we got here
Am I good enough, good enough
Good enough now?
Do you still have doubts?
Do I make you proud, do I make you proud?
This is the only place that feels like home
This is not a fairytale to me at all (at all)
This is the only place that feels like home
This is not a fairytale to me at all
This is not a fairytale

And I wouldn't change a thing
(we don't know where, we don't know where this will go)
You bring out the best in me
(we don't know where, we don't know where this will go)

This story goes in so many directions
Don't ask me now how we got here
Am I good enough, good enough
Good enough now?
Do you still have doubts?
Do I make you proud?
Am I good enough, good enough
Good enough now?
Do you still have doubts?
Do I make you proud?
This is the only place that feels like home
This is not a fairytale to me at all (at all)
This is the only place that feels like home
This is not a fairytale to me at all
This is not a fairytale
