"Something Like This" lyrics

I was born 6 pounds, 9 ounces, cold November morning
She'd been waiting for this
My mother's only son, but who'd have know that 12 months later
She'd have gave her last kiss
Left a man and five kids
If it was up to me to write this story
God knows I wouldn't start it like this

We took what we were given, didn't know much different
Yeah, we made the most out of it
I guess that's how the cards were dealt
Wish I could tell my younger self I'd end up like this
With a wife and 2 kids
If I had the chance to take him by the hand
I'd probably show him something like this

And oh my, my
I throw my hands up to the sky
If somebody told me that I could dream the boldest
I think I'd hope for something like this

I saw an apparition of her dancing in the kitchen
Oh, don't play me like this
I thought I must be sleeping but on second thoughts
I couldn't even dream about this
Thought it didn't exist
Not sure ready I was ready to believe it
Until you showed me something like this

And oh my, my
I throw my hands up to the sky
If somebody told me that I could dream the boldest
I think I'd hope for something like this
And oh my, my
I'd never noticed so much sky
If somebody told me that I could dream the boldest
I think I'd hope for something like this

I was born 6 pounds, 9 ounces, cold November morning
