lyrics

I can’t stop hearing about how you wanna get married
But that’s okay with me because I think it’s kinda cute.
Today’s is the day you might expect for me kneel right in front of you.
But not today, because I like to keep you in suspense.

I’m not sure what will change when I’m legally tied to you
I think it’ll all remain the same; at least that’s what I expect.
That begs the question, why the need, to buy a $3000 diamond?
When I can show you all that love in a nice little pop song.

Pop songs are better than rings, but I don’t blame you for wanting everything.
You know what I mean, five years with you isn’t such a small thing.
Because I know the back of your own hand, better than I know my own.
And 1826 days go by so fast when you’re not alone.

I hope you like my gift to you; I know it’s not much
Maybe I’ll buy you dinner too, possibly a movie?
Call me cheap, if you will, but I’m rich with affection
And cutesy lines to steal your heart over and over again

Remember when we first kissed I was only 16
An overwrought pubescent boy
But you loved me and I loved you; and today we still do
Except right now I have a beard; and a nice little pop song.

I just wanted to say, that you are, beautiful
I couldn’t name, a better thing in my life
And if you stay, away from me a while
I’d leave this place, and run to you and your smile
