Tayor Swift & Sarah Buxton know being an adult sucks!!!
It's the first time that I've been here,
Since I was here with him.
I remember all the wild flowers,
Wavin' in the wind.
Life was an undiscovered river:
I was jumpin' in head first.
It was sink or swim; do or die;
Sneakin' out on summer nights,
Stealin' wine from my Pa,
The thrill of not gettin' caught.
An' now an' then I miss those days,
But comin' back to this place,
I realise it ain't him I miss,
It's that young girl, wide-eyed, first love, one time innocence, yeah.
We ran off to the corn field,
Just outside the county fair;
There were butterflies in my stomach,
An' fireflies in the air.
He tried hard not to show it,
Oh, but he was just as scared as me.
And it was sink or swim; do or die;
Sneakin' out on summer nights;
Stealin' wine from my Pa;
The thrill of not gettin' caught.
An' now an' then I miss those days,
But comin' back to this place,
I realise it ain't him I miss,
It's that young girl, wide-eyed, first love, one time innocence, yeah.
And coming here has made me come to this:
The one thing I can't get back is the one thing I miss, yeah.
An' it was breakin' rules, flyin' blind;
What you see through younger eyes;
It wasn't what I thought it was,
Man, I swore he was the one.
An' now an' then I miss those days,
But comin' back to this place,
I realise it ain't him I miss,
It's that young girl, wide-eyed, first love, one time innocence, yeah.
It's that young girl, wide-eyed, first love, one time innocence.
Yeah, it's that innocence.
Mmm mmm.
I wish sometimes that I wasn't an adult. I can't believe I thought jr high was hard, I thought high school was hard, I thought college was hard. Here's what's hard: after college. Sometimes I can't believe I'm getting married, for yeah, there's the giddiness part, but then there's the reality. I'm getting married. Combined finances, mortgages, car payments, dream homes, kids(??), where do they all fit in?? When I marry Josh we'll have a mortgage, two car payments, a credit card (which has assorted crap from me on it and our HONEYMOON, I hate that we're going to have to put that on a credit card), a unfinished home that still needs landscaping, fence, siding, 4 new windows, and a new roof, me going back to school, and a dog. Josh still needs to go back to school (his job is saying he'll have maybe 4-5 yrs left there) and we want kids someday. I just keep plugging along trying to pay things off/finish things and sometimes I feel we're going nowhere. Josh also wants to buy land soon so we can built the dream house, I don't think we're ready yet. I told him we'll talk about it after the wedding. I hope he will agree to buying land one year after the wedding, paying off the land, and then building our house on it.
He keeps saying he's getting old...and that he wants to move further ahead in life. I think we'll figure it out. It's difficut sometimes, the age thing. He's 28, wanting to get established and have kids. I'm 22 wanting to get things done first. He knows we need about 3-4 years after the wedding before we start actively trying to conceive, but its hard. I also want to be at that perfect place. I want my dream house, my dream job, his dream job all right now. What we have is a money pit house we want to get a good profit from, a job I don't like, and a job with no long - term security for him. Is there such thing as job security anymore? I don't think so. I know we'll be ok, but right now I worry (what else is new?) and pray we'll stay afloat.
I see these couples that seem to have it all right now. You don't see them unable to go out, to go on vacation, to budget like crazy. How are they able to do that?? Is it something we're doing wrong? Josh says they don't have everything and that the grass isn't always greener, but I have a hard time not comparing us (or myself) and seeing nothing but failure. I want to know we're doing it right, we're making the right decisions. No one can tell that to us though, I mean a financial planner could, but they can't tell the whole story. The dreams, the reality, the money...its tiring.
"Remember when we vowed the vows
and walked the walk
Gave our hearts, made the start, it was hard
We lived and learned, life threw curves
There was joy, there was hurt
Remember when"
