about

Inspired by the TV show Doctor Who. Specifically, Amy's love for Rory that only grew stronger through mistakes, pain and heartbreak.

lyrics

Waiting isn't real life
But you know what that feels like
My love, my love
Penny's always in the air
Watch it floating everywhere
But love, but love

The precious moments I could spend by your side
I gave away
To him one day
We flew away

Almost a lover
Almost a mother
Almost a fairytale that almost came true
Almost a family
Almost, but then he
Swept me off my feet
With all the universe to see
Swept me off to all where and when
But I was one of the almost people back then

Now I have you by my side
Nothing's ever felt this right
This love, this love
Strange adventures run our lives
But they don't matter, just that I'm
Your love, your love

The precious moments I could spend by your side
I'll give away
To you this day
Let's fly away

Almost a lover
Almost a mother
Almost a fairytale that almost came true
Almost a family
Almost, but then he
Swept me off my feet
With all the universe to see
Swept me off to all where and when
But I was one of the almost people back then

And I don't wanna be the girl who waited
The girl who waited for far too long
Until you came along

Because waiting isn't real life
But you know what that feels like
My love, my love
Penny drops, about time too
Choice is made, I know who
I love, who I love
