Because I Met You

All lyrics written by Stephanie Gummelt.

Seasons used to sail over me scent and all 

then make me unhappy 

nostalgic fortress scaring me 

then I met you 

I'd walk through the rooms, pink and green and blue 

and the rocks and the marbles in the yard like castles do 

weeping over animals stuffed with fluff

and the dew on the grass 

made me smile weepy eyed 

like I'd lost 

like I'd lost 

then I met you

then I met you

Now remembering my father pushing my swing at the park

and my mother in her love enveloped t-shirts

cooking dinner after dark

don't hurt me anymore

because everything is so different now

then I met you

then I met you 

and now 

now 

My dreams don't seem, linear 

and my heart doesn't feel, mortal 

and the mansion in my mind seems more like a one room cottage

with a bed and a kitchen and a window 

and hope 

and love 

and you 

because I met you 

And the people we lose 

and the strength we gain

and the things we choose 

and the games we play

and the raindrops that trickle down the window sill are real

and so are you 

and now

and now

My dreams don't seem, linear 

and my heart doesn't feel, mortal 

and the mansion in my mind seems more like a one room cottage with a bed and a kitchen and a window 

and hope 

and love 

and you 

because I met you
