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.
