lyrics

Every romance has its own creation myth
Whether it’s a fairy tale or drunken kiss
From country roads to city bars
There’s a little of each in ours
It wasn’t so much if, but when I’d find you
Who would have known it then
Would you have believed me if I said
I don’t know how,
but I’ve found everything I ever wanted
Look at you now,
it’s like I prayed to God and He responded
With you

Things were going good, maybe too good to last
Suddenly it all just felt a little fast
I wasn’t ready yet, it’s something I still regret
How could I ever do such a thing to you?
But you stuck it out with me
Did you ever dream that we would be
So happy now, here with everything we ever wanted
Look at you now, it’s like I saw a star
and wished upon it
For you

I wonder how it is that I could be so blessed
All that I can figure is I’ve done my best
I worry it’s not enough, or that I’ll run out of luck
I don’t know what I’d do without you
It’s hard to believe sometimes
The life in the storybook is mine
I don’t know how,
but I’ve found everything I ever wanted
Look at you now,
it’s like I prayed to God and He responded
With you…
