A House by the Stream

I'm running away in my ballgown I've always wanted you here, now I want you gone Kind of hard to accept that all at once Once upon a time in December Your father was making you look for a wife All that burned was an ember But I would grow to want you all my life The carriage that arrived at midnight was haunted And I was lost, the moment your gaze met mine You whispered in my ear if I'd be invisible for the night You took me away to your courtyard And we danced, and we swayed till our breaths were intertwined in the same And you asked me to stay I've never regretted it once Not though the fights Not through the pain Not through the heartache Even with our differences, we'd hold the others hand to face the consequences And in a thousand different lives, I'd pick you every single time Hold me for one night and you can keep me all your life The day I met your parents they decided they wanted me gone I wasn't the princess they wished for, I wasn't the girl they thought you'd die for I remember feet on soil, gown soaked in my tears The hand on my shoulder, you said we'd grow older The next day you said Runaway with me, we'll build a house my the stream Let's leave this wretched town, we'll be a legend to the crowds My parents can keep their princess, I'd pick you over all their riches I'd pick you a thousand times 'Cause I've been waiting for you my whole life Waiting for you my whole life Waiting for you my whole life And though the fights And through the pain And through the heartache Even with our differences, I'll hold your hand to face the consequences And in a thousand different lives, I'd pick you every single time Hold me for one night and you can keep me all your life
