(Verse 1) You’re standing at the edge, looking down Terrified of falling, terrified of the ground You say we’re moving too fast, playing a dangerous game Afraid we’ll wake up older with only ourselves to blame You think a rushed hello might lead to a lifelong goodbye But darling, take my hand, and look me in the eye. (Chorus) You’re scared we’ll spend our whole lives regretting the leap we take But my biggest fear is the history we’d never make I know you have your choices, men with mansions and with might Who can buy you the daytime, but I will hold you through the night They might give you a fortune, or a quiet, easy life But no one will ever treasure you like I would as my wife. (Verse 2) I see the suitors waiting, lined up in the wings With their steady, mapped-out futures and their heavy diamond rings I don't have their deep pockets, I’m not the strongest man you'll find My stability is only in the way our souls align They can give you comfort, a predictable routine But I will spend my every breath treating you like a queen. (Chorus) You’re scared we’ll spend our whole lives regretting the leap we take But my biggest fear is the history we’d never make I know you have your choices, men with mansions and with might Who can buy you the daytime, but I will hold you through the night They might give you a fortune, or a quiet, easy life But no one will ever treasure you like I would as my wife. (Bridge) (Tempo slows, introspective and quiet) Sometimes in the midnight dark, I wonder if you’re right Do I have the right to ask you to share in my uncertain night? Do you deserve the luxury that I can’t guarantee? Am I just being selfish pulling you so close to me? (Tempo builds, growing confident and passionate) But then I see you smile, and the shadows fall away What good is a hollow castle if your heart turns cold and gray? Our love can build a shelter that no hurricane can move Your true happiness is everything, and that’s what I will prove. We can face the storms together, let the wild winds blow The life you truly deserve is the one where love can grow! (Guitar/Instrumental Solo) (Chorus) You’re scared we’ll spend our whole lives regretting the leap we take But my biggest fear is the history we’d never make I know you have your choices, men with mansions and with might Who can buy you the daytime, but I will hold you through the night They might give you a fortune, or a quiet, easy life But no one will ever treasure you like I would as my wife. (Outro) So let them have their money, let them have their pride Just take my hand in yours, and stay right by my side Don't let the fear of tomorrow steal away our today Let’s make the only choice we’ll never wish away Take the leap with me... Take the leap with me... I will treasure you always.
