here we go

you buy me a ring,
i'll wear it anywhere,
on my finger,
round my neck,
hangin from my hair.
you buy me a dress,
i'll wear it just for you,
let's get drunk and
pledge what's true.
i love you.
i know i get awful mean
when i drink
so look at me, remind me
i don't need to think
too far into anything
take my hand
buy me a ring.
take me dancing
all by ourselves
lift me up and kiss me
on your bedroom shelf
i'll dance in bare feet
and get swept away
you're so damn romantic
and i love your ways.
we'll light up the night
in damn well any place
i've never known a thing
like i know your face.
you take me to town,
i'll get all prettied up,
i'll make you proud,
let me fill you up,
with something you'll never want
from another human being
baby listen to me
i'll wear your ring
tell me anything
i love your everything.

our love.

our love belongs in a loft apartment
with no more than four walls
over a bookstore we own
it's only open half the time because
we prefer our days spent in bed
together, we prefer them in bed together.
our love belongs in waking up
to the other cooking breakfast for us both.
i know you hate eggs
so i'll just make extra bacon
and toast with butter and peanut butter.
the same toast i'll make for you
when you get far too drunk
which happens a little often
but you're so cute when you stumble.
and you've held my hair back plenty,
so let's drink a little much and tuck each other in
nestled up close enough to fit on a single bed.
and our love belongs in notes
left on the bedside table
when you're up early and go to the gym
it'll remind me to eventually go
instead of being lazy and doing pilates
on our living room floor.
our love belongs in something so constant
in something so matter of fact
because you come down to kiss me good night
and nothing has ever felt so right
it's how i know where our love belongs
and that it fits in the rest of my life.
because you are the rest of my life.

feel, fade
and in between,
tell me i mean
anything.
take me dancing
take me out
show me off
show pride, just shout.
say things that
you really mean,
tell me i mean
anything.
act so proud
and i'll believe,
tell me i mean
anything.
i don't have faith
in what i see
i don't take my views
so kindly.
my spine is now
embedded with straws
reflections covered
with all these flaws.
when i laugh
i feel it so deep
i brag of you
tell me what i mean
feel, fade
and in between,
tell me i mean
anything.
take me out,
take me dancing,
tell me i mean
anything.

i'm short, you're sweet.

theres a lot more i didnt understand
before you spoke to me
theres plenty things i'm blind to
until you can help me see.

i know no prescription or advice
can compare to what i find
everytime you lift me up
so don't leave me behind.

theres no amount of effort
you barely lift your hand
but there's so much more with that lift
that i can understand.

and if the whole world leaves us
you'll help me handle what's in store
i'd really like to see you around here
just a little bit more.
