lyrics

THE PACKAGE THEY GAVE

All my wants
like a package they gave
the day I was born
seems they're here to stay
All my dreams
from where I'd tucked them away
flooded back to the fore
the day that you came

I'm fighting the urge to throw it all down and fall at your feet
They say 'Life ain't a fairytale girl' and I say, 'Well, why can't it be?'
yeah, why can't it be

She wakes up at dawn
puts the coffee pot on
lifts the boy from the bed
into the first rays of sun
His arms 'round her neck
with one eye open to see
sleepy smile on his face
there's nowhere else she would be

I'm fighting the urge to throw it all down and fall at your feet
They say 'Life ain't a fairytale girl' and I say, 'Well, why can't it be?'
why can't it be

The soft skin of your cheek
under brush of my lips
The arch of my back
into your fingertips
I catch my breath
when I remember your kiss
Don't want no one else
'cause it won't feel like this

I'm fighting the urge to throw it all down and fall at your feet
They say 'Life ain't a fairytale girl' and I say, 'Well, why can't it be?'
I've tried to explain but you're seeing red when I'm saying green
There's no misunderstanding when we're in bed, your arms around me
I'm fighting the urge to throw it all down and fall at your feet
They say 'Life ain't a fairytale," I heard it, I'm asking you, why can't it be?
Isn't life what we make it and learning to love what sets us free?
So I'm gonna keep asking, I'm gonna keep asking
