And I would've took you to the place where we first met
Where I wore skinny jeans and you wore your letter jacket
But you didn't play sports, no you were in the band
But after that day I wanted your hand
And months crept by as I spent my time pining over you
I thought maybe if I tried that I could be your guy and you would want me too
And I guess for awhile we felt the same, fantasizing about sharing one name but then we fell a part
I should have known from the start
I guess I am the one to blame
But I had this dream where I asked you to marry me
I said "You are the only future I can see"
I got down on one knee, said "You're everything I need"
I never finished that dream, but I hoped you would agree
And I would've taken you to the place where we first met
Remembered all the good times that we had spent sitting on those stairs, without worries or cares, but I never thought you'd leave me there
Our friends and family would have been holding signs with the letters put in a way that asked you to be mine
And I never would have guessed that you would say yes, but I knew that this would be right
That's how I wanted to propose
But with the way the world works I guess nobody knows if things will stay the same as they are on the first day or if everything begins to change
But I had this dream where I asked you to marry me
I said "You are the only future I can see"
I got down on one knee, said "You're everything I need"
I never finished that dream, but I hoped you would agree
And I wanted to propose to you
Say "I love this and us and I'll always be true"
But I can't beg you to stay, and I cannot plead
I guess this will always be a dream
