lyrics

We went from a flicker to a full on roaring flame
Not knowing each other to talking about kids names
We got swept up in new hope and adventure
Too fast to look back or even at each other

Did I ever really know you?
Did you let me in?
Or did I live with a stranger
who’s walls weren’t so thin?

Did you ever really know me?
I feel like I tried to let you in
Maybe you couldn’t focus
the lights were too dim

Everyone was trying to put me in a wedding gown
I didn’t want to let anybody down
Everyone was trying to put me in a wedding gown
And I didn’t want to let anybody down

At six months we flew into the same nest
Created our own world trying to forget the rest
Sure it was fast, but we felt free
Flying
or falling
I didn’t know
You wouldn’t catch me

Everyone was trying to put me in a wedding gown
I didn’t want to let anybody down

I bought into the fantasy you sold to me
I ate it up
And you knew that I was starving

No one ever asked “what’s the rush?”
Or said that “love is blind”
I wish they would’ve
It might’ve
saved me some time
