Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
About a boy and a girl, trying to take on the world one kiss at a time.
Now the funny thing about, ain't a story without it, but the story is mine.
And I wish you could say, that it ended just fine.
We all want to know, how it ends.
Oh, happily ever after, wouldn't you know, wouldn't you know.
Author of the moment, can you tell me, do I end up, do I end up happy?
Inhale, breathe steady, exhale, like you're ready, if you're ready or not.
Just a boy and a girl gonna to take on the world, and we want to get caught.
In the middle of a very happy ending, let's see what we've got, let's give it a shot.
Let's give it a shot.
We all want to know, how it ends.
Oh, happily ever after, wouldn't you know, wouldn't you know.
Oh, skip to the ending, who'd like to know, I'd like to know.
Author of the moment, can you tell me, do I end up, do I end up happy?
We all have a story to tell.
Whether we whisper or yell.
We all have a story, of adolescence and all it's glory.
We all have a story to tell.
Oh, happily ever after, wouldn't you know, wouldn't you know.
Oh, skip to the ending, who'd like to know, I'd like to know.
Author of the moment, can you tell me, do I end up, do I end up happy?
We all have a story to tell.
We all have a story to tell.
We all have a story to tell.
We all have a story to tell.
We all have a story to tell.
We all have a story to tell.
The lyrics to He Is We's song Happily Ever After tell a story of a boy and a girl who are trying to take on the world one kiss at a time. The singer, who seems to be the girl in the story, is riddling the listener with a little story about her life. She wishes that she could say it ended just fine, but the listener is left wondering what happened to her and her love interest.
The song then takes a turn as the singer addresses the author of the moment and asks to know how her story ends. She wants to skip to the ending, just like a reader might do with a book. She also speaks of inhalation and exhalation, highlighting the anxieties that come with taking risks in life. She implores the author to tell her whether she ends up happy.
The chorus repeats itself several times, with the singer asking whether she ends up happy. She acknowledges that everyone has a story to tell, whether it is whispered or yelled. She acknowledges the beauty of adolescence and all its glory, stating that we all have stories to tell.
Overall, the lyrics to Happily Ever After are about the nostalgia and excitement of taking risks in love and life, with a sense of bittersweetness to it, as the singer is left wondering what happened to her story.
