Forever on One Knee

Verse 1 Living room still smells like midnight Baby finally asleep upstairs You’re sitting cross-legged on the hardwood Laughing at something on your phone I been holding something in my jacket For longer than you know Not a headline, not a moment Just something I gotta show I’ve thrown passes under pressure Heard a hundred thousand scream But nothing ever made my hands shake Like this right here with you and me ⸻ Pre-Chorus No band playing No cameras flash Just the hum of the house And the weight of what we have ⸻ Chorus Forever on one knee Not for a show, not for the crowd Just you and me Right here, right now I ain’t promising perfect I ain’t promising easy I’m promising I’ll stay When staying ain’t easy If legacy means anything to me It’s building it with you beside me Forever on one knee ⸻ Verse 2 You look at me like you already know Like you felt it coming all along Tears hitting that old hardwood floor Like they’ve been waiting to fall I ain’t asking you to chase my dream I ain’t asking you to sacrifice I’m asking you to build with me Through the chaos and the quiet I told you on that visit night I wasn’t scared of the ups and downs I just wanted you And I still do now ⸻ Pre-Chorus This ain’t a fairytale ending It’s a real-life start Two imperfect people Choosing each other’s heart ⸻ Chorus Forever on one knee No spotlight above Just a promise spoken In the language of love I don’t need fireworks I don’t need a scene I just need your hand in mine And a future we can mean ⸻ Bridge If I lose a game someday If the crowd turns cold If the lights go out early And the story gets old I’ll still have this moment On this hardwood floor Where I chose you And you chose me back for sure ⸻ Final Chorus (Lifted) Forever on one knee This is where I stand Not as a quarterback Just as your man Through diapers and playbooks Through wins and defeat I don’t want a life without you So I’m forever on one knee ⸻ Outro (Soft whisper) Will you marry me?
