Life Got in the Way

We knew it all from a little thing
It was everything in our first minute
And it took us to another place
Yeah another place and we fell in it
How dare you not remember
How dare you walk away

We adored every little thing
Every little thing would leave us breathless
Every dawn spelled another day
And in another day we weren't so restless
How dare you not remember
How dare you walk away

And I wanted you so much
Just like I do right now
I wanted us to be the one the poets write their books about
I wanted it to last
I wanted to grow old
But life got in the way

We walked around in a heavy haze
We were stuck in days of so much warring
We got lost in a tricky maze
Yeah a tricky maze that was so scarring
How come you can't remember
How dare you walk away

Then you start to add the little things
Add the little things and trip the mighty
Now we got a little bitter thing
A little bitter thing that grew like ivy
And how dare you not remember
How dare you walk away

And I wanted you so much
Just like I do right now
I wanted us to be the one the poets write their books about
I wanted it to last
I wanted to grow old
But life got in the way

Yeah, and apathy grows quietly where rapture used to fly
Whoa, and promises and certainty have left love here to die
Won't you stay and don't let this one fall away

And I wanted you so much
Just like I do right now
I wanted us to be the one the poets write their books about
I wanted it to last
I wanted to grow old
But life got in the way
(Repeat)

Yeah well life got in the way

My favorite thing about this song is a word in the chorus. It says, "I wanted us to be the ONE the poets write their books about." That means a lot.

I'm iffy about this song, but I'm going to post it anyways. It's a good song regardless. I just kind of want to change a couple of the words ...

A photo
Can say a thousand things
But it can't say the million things
I wanna say

A photo
Can capture the way we were
But it can't capture the way we are
'Cause you're far away

What it's like to know you
What it's like to touch you

When you told me that you loved me
Were those just words
You can't tell me you don't need me
And I know that hurts
'Cause I'm looking at your picture
'Cause it's all I've got
Maybe one day you and me will have
One more shot

Timing
Lost minutes and moments
Yea I might be lonely girl
But I'm not afraid

In a second
It all comes right back to me
No nothing's forgotten now
Yeah everything's saved

What it's like to touch you
What it's like to know you

When you told me that you loved me
Were those just words
You can't tell me you don't need me
And I know that hurts
'Cause I'm looking at your picture
'Cause it's all I've got
Maybe one day you and me will have
One more shot

You were my life
You were my faith
You gave me hope
Every day

When you told me that you loved me
Were those just words
You can't tell me you don't need me
And I know that hurts
'Cause I'm looking at your picture
'Cause it's all I've got
Maybe one day you and me will have
One more shot
