I like your company
Got a fresh philosophy
Never knew you're such a gentleman
You could take me on a cheap vacation
I don't wanna have expectations
'Cause you could be the end of me
I don't need a house on a hill
Swing on a tree
Grandfather clock
Porcelain for tea
A garden with rose and jasmine
Gonna get drunk on a bottle of wine
No better way to pass the time
Forever by your side
But I don't wanna be a bride
Apologies to your mother
I wanna be your girl
And spend this life with you
But I don't wanna wear white
You know it's too late for that
Can we keep the ever after?
Oh could it be?
Don't need no golden ring
It would be no match for the love you bring
From London to Tennessee
We could catch a train to another life
On a whim under the moonlight
I promise you, will you promise me?
Our last names on a wooden sign
Arm and arm where the river starts to wind
Forever by your side
But I don't wanna be a bride
Apologies to each other
I wanna be your girl
And spend this life with you
But I don' t wanna wear white
We know it's too late for that
But can we keep the ever after
Oh could it be?
Just you and me
Aaaaahhh aahhh hmm
We will live like kings under lavender
Skies, skies
We will live like kings under lavender
Skies, skies
We will build a poem we kept a rhyme
Wrapped our love in golden twine
We wrote, we wrote a legacy
Just you and me
Just like kings under lavender
Skies skies
We will
