I'll admit I've been hard on myself since I met you
Sticking silver slipper slivers in my heart till I started to
Break my own heart for you
I'll admit inshalah i'll be Ra to your Atum
your Chocolate sun, beating bushes on an atom bomb,
I promise that I'll do you wro-o-ong
If I let you know my love, If I pull my anchors up,
Can you Carry what you can't put down, To be honest I will let you down.
If I let you know my love, If I pull my anchors up,
Can you Carry what you can't put down, I promise I will let you down.
I'll admit I've been stuck on your eyes since I met you
But afraid that when you realize I'm a broken man
There's only so much you can stand.
I have gloves, for the petals of your onion
As the olive drew the dove, to the grafting of an autumn bough,
And she carried him above the clouds
There she goes in a wedding gown, and it puts my vows to shame,
leaving me with everything to gain...

Maybe I, Contradictory to some guys,
Should work on being shy, and wait a year or more
But Meredith Frey,
You caught the eyes in the back of my head
There's something lonely about my bed
On the living room floor
Just last night, I was stretching your bungie ties
To rappel off the western side, off the 18th floor
So that I, after we say goodnight,
Without breaking the rules of our apartments
I could see you more
If you aren't bothered by my balding
or kissing a missing tooth,
There's nothing left to talk about
if I can't say the truth:
Mere would you marry me.
Mere would you be my wife,
Even if I have to ask twice,
Mere would you marry me Mere be very married to me!
In the highs, when the money is good enough,
And we don't own too much stuff,
Let's hang the laurels on our shields
So in the lows, when we've pushed all that we can shove
From the pestle of our love, I'll take the little that it yields
And renew the crowning leaves again, to fan that firing kiln
And beat our chests with anger and excitement at the
bittersweet sobriety of friends.
And if God can take my candle dimly humming to itself
Trying to hide under a bushel on a long-neglected shelf
And erupt from it a passion that can overtake my soul,
Then He sure as Heaven has the strength make our halves a whole...

Come on everybody, sit around the fire
For the story that I wanna tell could take a little while
From the quiet town of Cambridge to the parks in Waterloo, eating Uncle Tetsu's cheesecake while admiring the view, of the Christmas lights on winter nights and making too much food: just being near each other always brightens up the mood
Soft spoken as she is, it's her laugh that makes you laugh,
As she plays you from Beethoven to some Antonín Dvořák
He's a sucker for a sucker or a fancy shaving cream,
But they'll save the world together, playing pandemic as a team
I just wanna be with you
I don't really care what we do
Tell me that I'll always be enough
If you wanna do this too,
we just gotta say "I do,"
Baby cuz you’ll always be enough
Come on everybody, put pie irons in the fire,
Cuz We've got
fillings in the backyard and we do it DIY,
We battle with our paddles to a secret beachside cove, cliff jumping in Killarney challenged by an 8 year old
Though it be unmistakeable, that future hardships take a toll, and even kitchen bakeables don't make a house a home,
And Knowing Nathan's capable of love so inescapable so as to weave as one their souls, they hence be not alone.
I just wanna be with you
I don't really care what we do
Tell me that I'll always be enough
If you wanna do this too,
we just gotta say "I do,"
Tell me that I'll always be enough
I just wanna be with you
I don' really care what we do
Tell me that I'll always be enough
This is what I wanna do
For the worse or the better
let's grow old together. If you only take my hand
