Cecilia - 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
