Our broken road

Life is really crazy. The way it turns out. You think you have it all planned and figured out and in an instant your whole world can turn upside down and everything changes. Those changes can be good, but sometimes they are bad. At least that's how it can feel when you're going through them. When you're caught in that moment and it feels like you're living a nightmare. Rick and I have been there. We both thought we had our lives all figured out and then suddenly everything we thought we knew was wrong. And we had to figure out how to go on and live.

It's funny how things turn out. I prayed and prayed so hard so that I could have the things I always dreamed of. I thought the chance of all that was over. Little did I know that my life was just getting ready to truly begin and that my prayers were being answered, I just didn't know it yet.

Now it's been over 3 years since Rick and I met, fell in love, and created a new life together. A life where we could both be ourselves, be happy and loved, and just be. Everything just feels so right, and I honestly couldn't imagine my life any other way.

If our world falls down tomorrow
You be sure I'll be there with a net
To catch the pieces falling
And I was always there
And I was always there
I was always there but you just
never knew where

Ay oh, ay oh, I hope you weren't waiting long
I hope this night makes up for time lost
Ay oh, ay oh, feels like I met you years ago
And we're picking up right where we left off

I've considered what I'd be like
if the ocean poured in
From both of the coasts
And we set sail to find out
Just where our boat would go

But I don't think that I'd want to know
Cuz it would just make time
So I could see your smile
With our brand new life in tow

Ay oh, ay oh, I hope you weren't waiting long
I hope this night makes up for time lost
Ay oh, ay oh, feels like I met you years ago
And we're picking up right where we left off
Right where we left off

And if I'm on the road
For another thousand years or so
I hope you know a part of me is at home
And I traded brick for straw
in the house I built around my heart
So when you came it wouldn't be so tough
No "huff and puff" could dismantle us
No "huff and puff" could dismantle us

Ay oh, ay oh, I hope you weren't waiting long
I hope this night makes up for time lost
Ay oh, ay oh, feels like I met you years ago
And we're picking up right where we left off
Right where we left off
