lyrics

Your mother always told you to play it safe, don’t try to fight the current
And the greater generation said to go for the wild one
I don’t always say it right but I never mean wrong and the question’s never easy
Now I know that being with you is the answer to the hardest one

All I really wanna do is discover life with you
You bring out in me everything that I should be
My dreams I wouldn’t hide if in you I could confide
So pay no attention to the curtain that conceals me

Oh everybody knows that running away is a fairy tale ending
Cuz the story never tells you that reality's not far behind
But only second medal winners ask if love is enough cuz they’re busy second guessing
So don’t think twice when I ask you to run away with me tonight

All I really wanna do is discover life with you
You bring out in me everything that I should be
My dreams I wouldn’t hide if in you I could confide
So pay no attention to the curtain that conceals me

Through waving blades of grass and your flowing golden hair
Wouldn’t think to look closer if your veil wasn’t there
What we’re scared to show, the best treasure of all
Remains a fairy tale if our curtains and veils don’t fall

I don’t want to be the singer who claims that no other man could love you more than I do
Cuz I can’t imagine finding anyone who would not love you

All I really want to do is discover life with you
You bring out in me everything that I should be
My dreams I use to hide, but with you here by my side,

We’ll do all that we can to find our fairy tale ending
cuz everyone deserves to have a fairy tale ending
All that we are missing is our fairy tale ending
Help me make reality a fairy tale ending

about

Adam A Nelson Chicago, Illinois

I've played other people's songs in piano bars and private events around the world for 15 years. By 2022, it was beyond time for me to record my own songs. Each of these 7 songs will be dropping monthly in 2023. I hope you enjoy them!
