Story - Julia Albert

Well the stars can hide behind the clouds
But I still know they’re there
And you can do your best to let me down
But I still know you care
I still know you care

Used to swim out in the ocean
Trust the waves to bring me back
I would let the darkness carry me
Now when I think of it I laugh
Now when I think of it I laugh

Chorus
Is it me, or does it seem
Like time keeps racing
Now that I stopped waiting for my world to begin
With an open heart, a second chance
I write my story
Though nothing turns out the way I planned

She threw a penny in a fountain
Shut her eyes and made a wish
Asked me, “Momma, will my wish come true?”
And I wanted to say yes
Yeah I wanted to sat yes

Chorus

Do you ever think we’ve lived before
That I loved you way back when
And is one lifetime enough for us
Or do we do it all again
Can we do we do it all again

Chorus
