Faded Pictures from Faded Pictures by Ian Galipeau

In the days before you knew me
Better than I knew myself
Other eyes would look right through me
Passing by like vague farewells
Just a stranger in a strange land
Walking slowly, looking down
Never trusting in my own hands
Lost inside with no way out

Love, oh it was a dream
Love, it was everything

When you came I wasn't ready
I was sure no one could swim
In the waters I was treading
But you went and dove right in
And the currents tried to hold you
Far away and out of reach
And I don't know why you chose to
Risk it all to get to me

Love, oh it was a dream
Love, it was everything

Not every day was perfect
But looking back right now
I wouldn't trade a moment
That led us through the dark
To what we found

Faded pictures, smiling faces
See those kids we used to be
Little moments rearranged us
Time and patience set us free
Knowing now the place we landed
What a thing so rare is worth
I can see it, understand it
How could you have been so sure when

Love, oh it was a dream
Love, it was everything
