Lyrics:
Ever since I met you
I feel like I’ve understood
Everything that’s happened this far’s
Happened as it should

I’m not gonna rush you 
Tell you I love you today
I know that it’s better 
With all the stops along the way

Cause you know I have sometimes played the fool
When I thought I could break all the rules

When you say you love me
I will take you at your work
But if that word is broken
From me you will not be heard

Cause you know I have sometimes played the fool
When I thought I could break all the rules

Ever since I met you
I feel like I’ve understood
Everything that’s happened this far’s
Happened as it should

I’m not gonna rush you 
Tell you I love you today
I know that it’s better 
With all the stops along the way

Cause you know I have sometimes played the fool
When I thought I could break all the rules

Rules

so many memories
that i don't have
the first years of my life
gone away
but there's still few that linger
and cloud my mind

they called us to the living room
a fire burning
i sat next to him on the couch 
he looked so concerning
i grabbed my little baseball cap
and wore it like a shield
they said some words i can't recall
whats the deal

how two can go from loving one another
to two that love to torment each other

i packed my life up every week
for your utter sanity 
and i know there's no other way
for me to say
that i love you both 
all the same

I've never been told about the day
that you wore shades
he was leaving me 
on my own
but i don't blame him
he did what he had to
im glad he didn't go through
what i had too
