Fairytale

you’re the kind of girl
everyone would love
if they got the chance to know you
but you’ve got barriers
you keep building up
just a princess in her tower

but I’ve slayed the dragons and
I have climbed your hair
to the smallest little window
might not be a prince
but I’ve charmed your hand
just tell me where and I will follow

and I’m just so glad
love, I’m just so glad
I’m so glad I get to know you
though it makes me mad
what we could have had
if I’d got to know you sooner

but what’s 22 years
in a part of forever?

I’m the kind of girl
everyone forgets
like the credits of a movie
but you sat and stayed
until the curtain closed
popcorn bucket running empty

you slayed the demons and
built me up again
blowing bubbles we can live in
treated, never tricked
like a daydream when
we pick teams, you pick me first
love has never hurt so good

and I’m just so glad
love, I’m just so glad
I’m so glad I get to know you
though it makes me mad
what we could have had
if I’d got to know you sooner

but what’s 22 years
in a part of forever?

growing young with you
grow in love with you
every day feels new
forever with you
laugh til I cry with you
climbing high with you
until I die with you
today is just a part of forever with you
