Stories

Could've turned away, but I Uproot cycles like clover Could've let the fears win, Let the nerves all take over I felt drunk around you, Although I was sober But I took a plunge Into unknown waters, Had a moment with God Now I'll see you reflected in my daughter's eyes What a funny old life… And for the longest time it felt Like I was always wanting, but never was wanted And for the first damn time I see That you are changing the view And we walked down to that old stone bridge That sat on the water With fresh falling leaves scattered over the ground, The light of the setting sun, safe and sound And I turned away for one second, And you got down on one knee, And I felt all those butterflies rush to my cheeks, Like a firefly's flutter, the memory would fleet And I was afraid of all this 'Til I felt in your arms the greatest truth That now in my life, I'll take any story that ends with you I had ten million rewrites And pages of edits, Life planned to a tee For a moment you were but a distant dream Then my plans, they all ripped at the seams But thank God for the pictures That all became riddles, Thank God for those nights I was stuck in the middle of all those lives, 'Cuz like bursts of light, I found what's mine And for the longest time it felt Like nothing was working, And my mind was spinning But now I make sense of the mess, 'Cuz the mess is what brought me to you And we walked down to that old stone bridge That sat on the water With fresh falling leaves scattered over the ground, The light of the setting sun, safe and sound And I turned away for one second, And you got down on one knee, And I felt all those butterflies rush to my cheeks, Like a firefly's flutter, the memory would fleet And I was afraid of all this 'Til I felt in your arms the greatest truth That now in my life, I'll take any story that ends with you Ooh And I was scared to death, Now your love is the only home I see And I was in my head, But I won't let my head take this from me And we walked down that long aisle With sunlight in everyone's smiles, But the only two people were us in the room Our tears synchronized as I gave in to you, And you took my hand for one second, And shyly gave me that ring And I felt those same butterflies rush to my cheeks, And I finally don't question if I am worthy And I was afraid of all this 'Til I felt in your arms the greatest truth For the rest of my life, I'll take any story that ends with you
