[Intro - Spoken softly over piano] They handed me a microphone And said "Say your vows" And I looked at Katalin Standing there in white And I forgot every word I'd written So I just started TALKING [Verse 1 - Half spoken, half sung] I promise to love you when you steal the covers Which is every night, for the record I promise to kill every spider you find Even the ones that aren't real You once made me check a shadow, Katalin It was a SOCK I promise to say "You look beautiful" Every single morning Not because I have to But because every single morning You make it TRUE [Chorus - Sung, building] I vow to be yours through the ordinary days Through the kitchen messes and the laundry that stays Through the fights about nothing and the make-ups that follow I vow to be yours through every tomorrow I vow to be yours [Verse 2 - Spoken with warmth] I promise to pretend I'm not lost And then quietly follow your directions I promise to laugh at your jokes Even the one about the horse Baby, it doesn't make sense But I will laugh every TIME I promise to hold your hand in the grocery store Like we're still teenagers I promise to slow dance with you in the kitchen Even though I cannot dance You know this The INTERNET knows this [Chorus - Sung, bigger] I vow to be yours through the ordinary days Through the midnight worries and the bills that we pay Through the years that fly by and the ones that crawl I vow to be yours through all of it ALL I vow to be yours [Bridge - Spoken, getting emotional] But here's the part I didn't write down Because I didn't know how to say it Without falling apart (breath) Before you, I was just a man With a job and an apartment And a life that worked fine on paper But you walked in And fine wasn't enough anymore You made me want to be MORE Not because you asked me to You never did But because loving you Made me realize I had so much more to GIVE [Final Verse - Sung, quiet and real] So I vow to be the man you already see The one I'm still becoming, the one you believed When nobody else did, when I didn't either You stood in my corner like a stubborn BELIEVER [Final Chorus - Full, emotional] I vow to be yours through the beautiful mess Through the two left feet and the wine-stained dress Through the songs I write and the words I stumble Through a life of love built on something HUMBLE I vow to be yours, Katalin I vow to be yours Today, tomorrow, and every day after Through every tear and every LAUGHTER I vow to be yours [Outro - Spoken, barely above a whisper] (softly) She said yes, by the way In case you were wondering She said yes And I've been the luckiest man alive Ever since
