[Verse 1]
You roll in wearing that green apron smile
I’m tying my shoes by the door for a mile
You say, “make it official,” eyes on my hand
I grin like, yeah, I got a plan
I know you want forever in a shiny little box
I’m still lacing up, still chasing my clock
But I’m here, babe, in this little loud town
With your name on my chest, upside down
[Pre-Chorus]
You pull me close, you say, “don’t tease”
I say, “baby, breathe, just wait and see”
I’m not there, but I’m not gone
I’m running toward you all night long
[Chorus]
Here’s my promise ring
(hear my promise ring)
Not yet, but I mean that thing
(not yet, but I mean that thing)
One day, one day
I’ll say the words you crave
Here’s my promise ring
(hear my promise ring)
I’m yours in every other way
[Verse 2]
You want the big white dress and the family name
I want a finish line, a little more time in the lane
You laugh at my shoes, I laugh at your brew
You steal my hoodie, I steal your Tuesday too
We trade back and forth like a favorite song
You say I’m almost there, I say you’re not wrong
So take this little circle, hold it like truth
A vow in my pocket, a beat-up proof
[Pre-Chorus]
You raise an eyebrow, “that all you got?”
I say, “girl, it’s honest, and that’s a lot”
I’m not there, but I’m not gone
I’m running toward you all night long
[Chorus]
Here’s my promise ring
(hear my promise ring)
Not yet, but I mean that thing
(not yet, but I mean that thing)
One day, one day
I’ll say the words you crave
Here’s my promise ring
(hear my promise ring)
I’m yours in every other way
[Bridge]
And maybe I’m not ready for the chapel bells
But I know your laugh better than I know myself
I’ll race the road, I’ll lose, I’ll stay
I’m learning love the hard-earned way
So keep your heart where my left hand swings
And keep that grin when I hand you this ring
[Final Chorus]
Here’s my promise ring
(hear my promise ring)
Not yet, but I mean that thing
(not yet, but I mean that thing)
One day, one day
I’ll say the words you crave
Here’s my promise ring
(hear my promise ring)
I’m yours in every other way
[Outro]
Not yet, not yet
But I’m on my way
Not yet, not yet
Baby, I’ll say it someday
