Hey glad I caught you for a minute It’s been a couple weeks And if you’re asking how I am I’m doing fine I’m doing great I fell in love today So we could talk about the weather or the way she smiles, How she sees so deep Or how her soul is so attractive And her laugh can make me weak I can tell that you think That I’m crazy but I’m not afraid of it Cause here’s the way I see it I found a heaven that I hadn’t imagined yet Not gonna wait to say it ‘Til it’s safe to name it Not gonna second guess Or hedge my bets Oooooh I fell in love today I’m not afraid to say it Oooooh I fell in love today I’m not afraid to fall in love And I’m not scared of being wrong Or giving love that’s not returned Getting lost or getting hurt Yeah I’m diving in head first Cause it might be a greater risk To never know her oh the beauty I would miss and I’m not afraid of it Cause here’s the way I see it I found a heaven that I hadn’t imagined yet Not gonna wait to say it ‘Til it’s safe to name it Not gonna second guess Or hedge my bets Oooooh I fell in love today I’m not afraid to say it Oooooh I fell in love today I’m not afraid to fall in love

In its time our story was aligned And our lives were weaved together Try as we might, the timing was never right Divine conception knew better We’ve been led here And it’s so clear That it’s time to say it now It’s a foolish thing to ask at all Cause love is blind and life is long But I promise I won’t let you go As our worries change and we grow old Would you let me spend Every day with you We both tried a dozen other times But now we've finally found a partner And we could try to start a new life One that we compose together Purportedly We’re both better when we help each other play And we can weather anything that comes our way And if you’d like we could start now It’s a foolish thing to ask at all Cause love is blind and life is long But I promise I won’t let you go As our bodies change and we grow old My heart is yours to have and hold Would you let me spend Every day with you

Do you remember when you told me that our friendship was through And then I haggled just a little bit till you reformed your views? I’m not proud of that and I’ll confess this much is true If I have any friends from college left it’s all thanks to you And your patience with all of my quirks Is not wasted, it waters the earth Do you remember when you held me in all of my fears While I projected them on the hands holding me near It’s not to hard to have patience when every tear Is like a thunderstorm calming us and drawing us near And your patience with all of my quirks Is not wasted, it waters the earth Cause every single seed to have a hold first needs to die But they grow into trees to have and hold all of our lives And now we’ll never need to love alone Always your hands are with mine Holding the pain, and beauty in our eyes Ain’t it funny and beautiful that though I didn’t want to call And after years that you were always here I wrote you that poem It’s silly and really I love that you didn’t know That you were into me, socrates hadn’t quite found his home And your patience with all of my quirks Is not wasted, it waters the earth Cause every single seed to have a hold first needs to die But they grow into trees to have and hold all of our lives And now we’ll never need to love alone Always your hands are with mine Holding the pain, and beauty in our eyes Beauty in our eyes Beauty in our eyes Beauty in our eyes Always your hands are with mine Holding the pain, all the purples and the grays The sunsets and graves We’re holding the pain, and beauty in our eyes Beauty in our eyes Beauty in our eyes Beauty in our eyes

Like a dandelion, into my life you burst More precious than i can express with words Now you’re stuck with me darling you know I won’t leave Would you like to begin it again with me We were kids barely older than seventeen Didn’t know to say what we want or need Out of touch with our feelings we swore the worst Somehow love was exchanged in our angry words But sitting in a fire escape Taylor Swift covers in the distance I didn’t know how say what i meant but I would do it all over again And die and do it all over again And I would do it all over again and die and do it all over again With you I’ve explored now the continent held in you But I know it’s the start of an endless pursuit And our love is a growing, expanding thing Fields of poppies forever that flower again It isn’t just a tiring game Maybe some other people think so But they’ll never see all the beauty in the pain ’cause I would do it all over again And die and do it all over again And I would do it all over again and die and do it all over again With you Oh it’s not easy to wait Through cycles of anger and pain But everything beautiful takes time I won’t get off of this train I’d do it again and again Cause everything beautiful takes time and I would do it all over again And die and do it all over again And I would do it all over again and die and do it all over again And I would do it all over again and die and do it all over again With you
