How It Happened Lyrics

I first laid eyes on him

When I was still in college

And he lived out of town

With his brother

Snow fell in April

And his mother died

And I thought that we might drown

But we didn't

No, we signed a lease

Told our families and moved out

Fuck the consequences

So in love, made a jaded pessimist

Dream of picket fences

We fell in love in the summer

At twenty and twenty-two

Sleeping in cars

Staring up at the stars

What a thing to do

Just two little dreamers

Trying to hold on to the hope

That we might actually survive and wake up to

A world with me and you

When we first met

Getting hitched was illegal

But after four short years

We tied the knot

My younger self still can't believe

I kissed a boy in front of grandma

And she told me she's never been more proud

Bought a house

Moved away and settled down

Trying to grow a family

Oh, I swear if those boys could see us now

They'd think that we're crazy

We fell in love in the summer

At twenty and twenty-two

Sleeping in cars

Staring up at the stars

What a thing to do

Just two little dreamers

Trying to hold on to the hope

That we might actually survive and wake up to

A world with me and you

A world with me and you

A world with me and you

Today we woke up to

A world with me and you

We fell in love that summer

At twenty and twenty-two

Sleeping in cars

Staring up at the stars

Were the things to do

Now we're still just those little dreamers

Trying to hold on to the hope

That we might actually survive and wake up to

A world with me and you

A world with me and you

A world with me and you
