Stories Lyrics

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
