[Verse 1]
You laughed the first time that we met
Said my joke was awful
But you smiled anyway
You stole my hoodie
Never gave it back
Now it smells like you and the rain in May
[Verse 2]
You hum that same song in the car
Windows down
Hair tangled on your lips
You talk with your hands when you’re mad
But you calm me down with just your fingertips
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been saving every ordinary moment
Like they’re pages I don’t want to forget
If this is all I ever get
I’d still call it heaven
[Chorus]
So will you let my shaking hands
Hold your hazel eyes when they’re full of tears
Let my clumsy heart
Be the one you’re keeping all these years
If every road and every night
Led me here to you in this faded light
Then right here
On this trembling breath
I’m asking you
My love
Say yes
[Verse 3]
I see your father in your smile
Your mother’s strength when you don’t back down
You say you’re “too much” when you’re scared
But you’re exactly what I can’t live without
[Pre-Chorus]
All my quiet
All my hidden corners
You walked in and turned the lights on slow
If there’s a future I could hold
It’s your hand I’m holding
[Chorus]
So will you let my shaking hands
Hold your hazel eyes when they’re filled with doubt
Let my stumbling words
Be the ones you never live without
If every road and every night
Led me here to you in this honest light
Then right here
With this aching chest
I’m asking you
My love
Say yes
[Bridge]
I’m not perfect
I lose my way
I get jealous
Scared
I push you away
But you stay
God
You stay (oh)
If this is the only brave thing I do
Let it be this—falling down on my knees for you
[Chorus]
So will you let my shaking hands
Slip a simple ring where your fingers rest
Let our ordinary days
Be the story that we tell our guests
If every road and every night
Led me here to you for the rest of my life
Then right here
Through the fear and the mess
I’m asking you
Through tears on my breath
My hazel eyes
My sweetest friend
Will you marry me?
(Please say yes)
