I Don’t Want to Be a Bride

[Verse 1]
I like your company
You've got a fresh philosophy
Never knew such a gentleman
And you can take me on a cheap vacation
I don't want to have expectations
'Cause you could be the end of me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I don't need a house on a hill, a swing on a tree
A grandfather clock, porcelain for tea
A garden with rose and jasmine
Gonna get drunk on a bottle of wine
No better way to pass the time
Forever by your side

[Chorus 1]
But I don't want to be a bride
Apologies to your mother
I wanna be your girl
And spend this life with you
But I don't want to wear white
You know it's too late for that
Can we keep the ever after, love?
Oh, could it be?

[Verse 2]
Don't need no golden ring
It'd be no match for the love you'd bring
From London to Tennessee
And we could catch a train to another life
On a whim under the moonlight
I promise you, will you promise me?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Our last names on a wooden sign
Arm in arm where the river starts to wind
Forever by your side

[Chorus 2]
But I don't want to be a bride
Apologies to each other
I wanna be your girl
And spend this life with you
But I don't want to wear white
Oh, you know it's too late for that
But can we keep the ever after?
Oh, could it be just you and me?
Ah, ah, ah

[Bridge]
And we will
(Live like kings under lavender)
(Skies, skies we will)
(Live like kings under lavender)
(Skies, skies we will)

[Verse 3]
Built a poem, we kept a rhyme
Wrapped our love in golden twine
And we wrote, we wrote a legacy
Just you and me
Just you and me

[Outro]
(Skies, skies) we will
