Thinkin' bout it, I've pictured this moment many times
And this beats the hell out of my dream concept design
I've told you all I see and how we've come so far
Crazy to blink the years flew by, and here we are

And it occurred to me, you’d know I had in mind...

That I'm not lookin' for a fairytale bride
I’m lookin' for a partner in crime
To steal away to some back road high
And hide out under the stars in her eyes

When I say I love you endlessly,
I'm askin' if you'll marry me

So honey my hand is shown
I’ve rode this question far as it'll go
It's in your hands now I suppose
So make it real and we'll be flyin' over mountain tops high
I'll be by your side

You can kiss goodbye to that good girl life, baby I’ll tell you why…

'Cause I'm not lookin' at a fairytale bride
I'm lookin' at my partner in crime
Let’s steal away to some back road high
And hide out under the stars in your eyes

When I say I love you endlessly,
I'm askin' if you'll marry me

Can't wait for this pretty song to end
To say what's been brewing in your head
If it's fate I'll place it on your left hand

'Cause I'm not lookin' for a fairytale bride
I know I got my partner in crime
Sunshine of that stubborn smile
Is how you rearranged my life
When I say I love you endlessly...

When we first met I could tell that this was gonna take over my mind for awhile
Tell myself not to return a blank stare for that smile
Fumbled all my chances now I just know you're gone somehow
So shame on me for wanting you, cause we can't be existing that way
Cause you think you got a boy you wanna marry someday

(Oh no)

Why does it always gotta happen this way, like I was blindsided again
Maybe because I was the king of awkward anyway I'm singin

I can't find the words to say I mumble and I turn away
Out of fear I'm looking like a fool, and I know that's uncool
But I can't find the words to say I want you in my life
If you would just leave your man today

Every time you talk to me I'm, red as roses on a summer's eve
My walls fall down when you're around and kiss my heartbeat, oh
You got that party girl charm but the beau on your arm's got my head spinning
Keeping in check the tension building, you're not gonna make this easy
I'm dyin' tryin' to remind myself I'm imagining

That I'm good playin it cool because my stubborn interest is plain to see
What's a lonely guy to do stuck on a ten like you, well lately

I can't find the words to say I mumble and I turn away
Out of fear I'm looking like a fool, and I know that's uncool but
I can't find the words to say I want you in my life
If I could just be your man today

Aw yea
If you could see it through my eyes you'd understand
You got a way you play my mind fall on my face
It must be funny for you watchin all my tryin's just a waste of time
But I wanna make you love me tonight, but honey

I can't find the words to say I mumble and I turn away
Out of fear I'm looking like a fool, and I know that's uncool but
I can't find the words to say that I want you in my life
But I betchu know that you've been on my mind

I can't find the words to say, I mumble and I turn away
I can't find the words to say, they're probably written on my face
I know I can't find the words to say that I want you in my life

If you would just leave your man
I'm tryina make you understand
That I'm gonna be your man someday

5 years gone by, since we gave it one more try
Flames died ground was white, silence spoke for you and I
No change, still estranged, even the white blankets remain
Feb 15 in the 2-1-5, still lookin for my Valentine

But before you say goodbye
Take your jacket off this time
You haven't called me for awhile
Barely strangers in our eyes

Who was luckier than I, waking with you by my side
Flip back to swing sets in the sand, God knows you want to start again
Comfortable around you I held your hand and got so high
Before our hearts were trusted friends, never thought that kinda love would end
I'm still tryin'

But before you say goodbye
Take your jacket off this time
You haven't called me for awhile
Barely strangers in our eyes

Am I still a shadow of my old ways
Saying goodbye on my driveway
Can't help but say it's true, I know I wish the best for you
Even though it's hard to do

So before you say goodbye,
Brush the dust off take your time
I don’t wanna say goodnight
And wake up strangers in the morning light
Search for the friend I hope I’ll find
Keep hoping you’ll be there sometime
