Forever Nevermore

(album: Through A Dark Wood - 2020)

Stepped out, cool dirt under feet
And the fog in the air
And the crack of the snare bittersweet
Loud sounds were such a relief
Cause they crowded our thoughts
And allowed us to not have to speak

But the girls everywhere
With the jewels in their hair
Weren't dressed for the cold
Like a part of the show
Every step was a pose
Was a scene for a lens to behold

As we pushed through the crowd
With the drums getting loud
You were moving ahead
Where I always had lead
So I reached for your hand
Because I was afraid I was
Losing my way again

Didn't know what I wanted before
Didn't think I could say it forever nevermore
Didn't know what I wanted or what to do
Didn't know what I wanted before
Wasn't sure I could say it forever nevermore
Didn't know what I wanted or what to do

Moved on to a different stage
And the daylight was fading
With everyone waiting engaged
Their cheers a steady refrain
And the crowd wouldn't part
Even thought it was starting to rain

And when the spots came on
The first notes of the song
Filled them up like a rush
We were caught in the crush
And I tried to forget
But was filled with remorse and regret

So I tried to move on
From the thought I was wrong
When I slipped on the grass
And around me they passed
And it suddenly dawned on me
I could see you still
But you were already gone

Didn't know what I wanted before
Didn't think I could say it forever nevermore
Didn't know what I wanted or what to do
Didn't know what I wanted before
Wasn't sure I could say it forever nevermore
Didn't know what I wanted or what to do

There was something that I couldn't say
Cause I was so afraid
It would push you away
But when I never said what I couldn't say
It went and pushed you away
It pushed you away

Didn't know what I wanted before
Didn't know what I wanted before
Didn't know what I wanted before
Wasn't sure I could say it forever nevermore
Didn't know what I wanted or what to do
Didn't know what I wanted before
Didn't think I could say it forever nevermore
Didn't know what I wanted or what to do
Didn't know what I wanted or what to do
Didn't know what I wanted or what to do
