Ellie Holcomb, Bear Rinehart, NEEDTOBREATHE - Sweet Ever After lyrics

Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah ooh ooh ooh ooh

In the spirit of David
And the cracks of the walls
And the schemes that we're all running
We're exposed to the rain coming
Down from the clouds
And the fire that falls from Heaven
But our tragedy binds what
Our ignorance hides
We all wind up here together
Yeah, our bodies are tied and our souls
They are blind bones broken by the weathеr

Got a lot of bad days still comin' our way
But a sweet ever after
Wind and wavеs breaking over our walls
But the ship, it don't shatter
The real life lesson 'bout a life well-lived
Is you lose what don't matter
But the sun's coming up on
The stairway to Heaven
In the sweet ever after
In the sweet ever after

Woke up terrified in the middle of the night
To a storm, our whole house was shaking
Didn't know where to hide
The winds howling outside
Sounded like everything was breaking
Well, the tears fell like rain
When the morning light came
In the wake of that disaster
Brick and stone in the street
Shattered glass in our feet
Homes splintered by the weather

(Listen) Got a lot of bad
Days still coming our way
But a sweet ever after
(But a sweet ever after)
Wind and waves breaking over our walls
But the ship, it don't shatter
(But the ship, it don't shatter)
The real life lesson 'bout a life well-lived
Is you lose what don't matter
(Is you lose what don't matter)
But the sun's coming up on
The stairway to Heaven
In the sweet ever after
In the sweet ever after

If we listen there's a sound
Beneath the footprints in all our towns
We're connected like waves of grain
When we break wide open we're all the same
When we break open we're all the same

Got a lot of bad days still coming our way
But a sweet ever after
Wind and waves breaking over our walls
But the ship, it don't shatter
(But the ship, it don't shatter)
Well, the real life lesson
'bout a life well-lived
Is you lose what don't matter
(Is you lose what don't matter)
But the sun's coming up on
The stairway to Heaven
In the sweet ever after
(In the sweet ever after)
In the sweet ever after
(In the sweet ever after)
In the sweet ever after
(In the sweet ever after)
In the sweet ever after
(In the sweet ever after)
