Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When reality is better than your dreams
That is exactly what I feel when you look at me
When heaven's gate to open just for me
That's exactly what I feel when you're next to me
And now the wait is over
And now I stare at you in wonder

Who could've thought it's always been you

It's been you all this time
But I can't believe that you're mine
Who could've thought that fairytales were true cuz here I am with you
About to say I do to happily ever after with you

When reality is better than my dreams
When there's not else to dream
When my dream is next to me
When loving you is like catching a falling stars
Baby you're catching my heart and letting me fall into your arms
I can't believe the wait is over
And now I stand and loving you forever

Who could've thought it's always been you
It's been you all this time
But now I can't believe that you're mine
Who could've thought that fairytales were true cuz here I am with you
About to say I do to happily ever after with you

I am giving up and trying not to love you
I am saying yes to happily ever after with you
I've fallen inlove a thousand times
Over and over again
And I can't believe it's me who gets to love you too
My bestfriend

Who could've thought it's always been you
It's been you all this time
But now I can't believe that you're mine

Who could've thought that fairytales were true cuz here I am with you
I finally said I do to happily ever after with you
