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

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
With these broken arms
Well, 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
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, another step
Take another step 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 'em 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

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, another step
Take another step for me
Take two more steps and I'll let you rest
But just one more step towards home
