Just For Me

Everything has a beginning and an end So drop the facade, we don't have time to watch everyone pretend Here we are in college, partying day and night We wake up in strange places, knowing it isn't right Yet here we are, still being fake We all know what we truly want, do we hide for our own sake? Scared of what the future brings We talk like we want the car and a shiny ring Let's all agree to just be true It just makes it easier for me and you Let's paint a picture, of where we want to be The start of our story, beginning with our own family tree Here I am alone, but along comes Sally I want something more, no time to dilly dally We start to talk, we start to date And somewhere along the way, I realize this was fate I buy a ring, I want to propose But I get so nervous, and on one knee it shows Before I can finish, she utters one word She quickly says "yes", is that really what I heard? I stand on my feet, we kiss for what feels like an hour Being around this woman, I feel like I have a super power I feel like this is it, I am truly whole I feel it in my bones, and in my very soul So we get married, and a year goes by Then something happens, my oh my My wife comes to me in awe, an expression I can't explain She looks so shocked, almost insane She show me a little stick, it just shows a little plus She says it's time, it's happened to us We look forward to dressing our own child A life so calm, but yet so wild We all were children, till our children smiled Something so innocent, something so new And you have your significant other standing next to you Two people, and now three And years ago I thought I'd be living my life... Just for me
