Family Nouveau

It's crazy to think

How I was living like a prisoner

But now I am free

Not tied to a past I never wanted anyway

Life before I met you

Was just a bunch of yesterdays

But now I worry I've invested too much

Because when you're away from me

Everything just gets so ugly

Giving you my heart was not a mistake - I don't regret it

And though it shook up my friends

I hope that they know that I still love them all the same

I just had to move on

And start my grown-up life with you

You and me and our little Alabee

My god, it happened to me

I really have my own family
