timeline Lyrics

In 2001

You took my picture but I was a coward

Who was way out of his league

In 2002

I write you a letter on a paper towel

And so began our journey

In 2003

I gave you a rubber band

I got down on a knee

In 2004

You took my name I took your hand

Living the dream at only 20

In 2005

We ventured out in our own

Just us in the bluegrass state

In 2009

Our little family grows and we move back home

And life just seem to accelerate

By 2013

We're a family a five

Living that minivan life

And I can't imagine a better timeline

Than the one where you said yes to being my wife. 

Of course things haven't been perfect

But I wouldn't alter the slightest thing

In fear that it would disturb this

Timeline and current reality

I know all this multiverse talk

Sure doesn't sound romantic

But let's not pretend

Like this story has been

Anything other than enchanted

It started with a sharpie and a paper towel

The odds were surely not in my favor

But look at this life that we've built now

Thanks for looking past my early behavior 

Not sure what you saw in me

Surely not the hat and cut-off slacks

Thanks for putting up with the

Knee-high socks and first-date nap

I'm not sure what made you want to stick around

But I'm sure glad you did because I can't imagine

It's 2021 and the world's a mess

It's a full-blown pandemic

Still I'm in love with that girl I met

All those years ago I'll never forget it
