Look at Me Now

Verse 1
Three years ago at a random party,
You were laughing across the room.
Funny, beautiful, completely out of reach,
At least that’s what I assumed.

I thought, “Man, I don’t stand a chance here,”
You were everything somehow.
If you could’ve seen the look on my face then—
Baby, look at me now.

Chorus
Look at me now, look at us now,
Who knew life could turn out this way?
I found love, I found laughter,
I found reasons to believe in every day.
If the rest of my life is half this good,
I’ll have more than I ever dreamed somehow.
I thought I never had a chance with you—
Baby, look at me now.

Verse 2
A year ago I told your father,
“I’ll protect her all my life.
I’ll take care of her, stand beside her,
Never be the reason that she cries.”

Well, I hope I get one little pardon,
For the tears that fell tonight.
Because sometimes happy comes so strong
You just can’t hold it inside.

Chorus
Look at me now, look at us now,
Who knew life could turn out this way?
I found love, I found laughter,
I found reasons to believe in every day.
If the rest of my life is half this good,
I’ll have more than I ever dreamed somehow.
I thought I never had a chance with you—
Baby, look at me now.

Bridge
My mom says you’re the better one,
My sister says it too.
And for once in my stubborn life,
I know they’re telling the truth.

You changed my world without even trying,
Made the ordinary new.
And every road I see ahead of me
Looks better there with you.

Final Chorus
Look at us now, here we are now,
With our whole damn life ahead.
More Sunday mornings, more stupid jokes,
More nights we haven’t lived yet.
Friends and family all around us,
And one promise left to make somehow:
I’ll love you then like I love you here—
Only more than I do now.

Outro
Three years ago at a random party,
I thought I didn’t stand a chance.
Now you’re wearing my ring, I’m holding your hand,
And we’ve only just begun this dance.

Trista, you’re the best thing in my world,
And I’ll spend forever telling you how.
You said yes.
We’ve got a whole life ahead.
Baby… look at us now.

Jackson wrote this about Trista

Three years ago at a random party, I met one of the most incredible people I have had the honor to know on this planet. The first thoughts I had where how incredibly funny she was and how I had no chance. WELL LOOK AT ME NOW MUAHAAHAHA. A year ago I made a promise to her dad to protect her, take care of her, and never make her cry. Well lets all hope for my sake that I get a pass this one time on the whole crying thing. My whole life has changed more than I ever thought possible with Trista in it and if the entire rest of my life is 1/3rd as good as the last 3 years have been I will live a life better than almost anyone else on earth has gotten the chance to. Every day of getting to have her in my life is an absolute blessing and I wish I could say that a million times a day. It is my absolute honor and pleasure to let our friends and family know that we are officially engaged! To Trista Squier, I hope you know now that youve said yes I can freely admit that my mom and sister have both agreed you are the better one out of the two of us and I have to agree. You are the most important thing in my world and it is my honor to be yours. I love you. To all our friends and family that have supported us through our journey I look forward to your continued presence in our lives!
