A Song From A Knife Salesman To His Wife On Their Wedding Day
well darlin this is it, and I'm not a complicated person you're all I've got, and I mean you're all I'll ever need just like you are, you look like you could use these open arms with these broken arms, I'll try and hold you all together you spun the wheels, on this rusty heart, & I'll never be the same and we're no accident, though sometimes we won't survive the crash I'll be your ambulance, I'll let you sleep right here inside of me let it leave a scar when it heals, so we can remember what not to do it's those natural tattoos that I love, drawn over every inch of you It's our only map, it's all we'll ever have to offer and all I am is for you, until I'm tied down to my coffin I'm not that good with words, I'll try my hardest anyways and they get caught, in my throat no matter how loud I scream them out grow old with me, I can't seem to say it any more convincingly
so take another step, just take another step, take another breath with me take 2 more steps, and I'll let you rest, but one more step for me take another step, just one more step, take another breath with me take 2 more steps, and then you'll rest, but take one more step towards me
I'm sure that this is it, our song's playing anyways so let's go and dance, like ghosts happy to be alive we're so much stronger, than anything they've ever taught us to fear and that's my plan, it's thin but it'll stand up just the same so take my hand, hold it like your life depends and close your eyes and take a step, I want to be the ground--right there like it's always been you pulled the pin, and asked me to hold your heart together but not with words, you crash landed right here inside my hands my little bird, let's go and fly this globe all over and show them how, our love does fill up all the oceans I don't deserve you, and I'll probably fail you in almost every single way and so I'm sorry, love your husband on your wedding day
so take another step, just take another step, take another breath with me take 2 more steps, and I'll let you rest, but one more step for me take another step, just one more step, take another breath with me take 2 more steps, and then you'll rest, but take one more step for me
