A Song From A Knife Salesman To His Wife On Their Wedding Day Lyrics

Listener A Song From A Knife Salesman To His Wife On Their Wedding Day

Well darling this is it, and I'm not a complicated
person.

you're all I've got, well I mean you're all I'll ever
need.

just like you are, you look like you could use these
open arms.

and with these broken arms, I'll try and hold you all
together.

you spun the wheels on this rusty heart, and I'll never
be the same.

and we're no accident you and I , though sometimes we
won't survive the crash.

I'll be your ambulance, I'll let you sleep right here
inside of me.

let it leave a scar when it heals, so we can remember
what not to do.

it's those natural tattoos that I love, drawn over
every inch of you.

It's our only map, it's all we'll ever have to offer.

and all I am is for you, until I'm tied down to my
coffin.

I'm not that good with words, I'll try my hardest
anyways.

and they get caught in my throat no matter how loud I
scream them out.

grow old with me, I can't seem to say it any more
convincingly and God that scares me.



So take another step, take another step, take another
step for me.

take two more steps, and then you'll rest, but just one
more step for me.

take another step, take another step, take another
breath for me.

take two more steps and I'll let you rest, but just one
more step towards me.



Well I'm sure that this is it, our song's playing
anyways.

so let's go dance, like ghosts just happy to be alive.

we're so much stronger, than anything they've ever
taught us to fear.

and that's my plan, it's thin I know but it'll stand up
just the same.

so take my hand, hold it like your life depends and
close your eyes.

and take a step, I want to be the ground right there
like it's always been.

you pulled the pin, and asked me to hold your heart
together.

but not with words, you crash landed right here inside
my hands.

my little bird, let's go and fly this globe all over.

and show them how, our love does fill up all the
oceans.

I don't deserve you, and I'll probably fail you in
almost every single way.

and so I'm sorry, love your husband on your wedding
day.
