My grandpa’s ring, your mother’s dress
Your sister’s shoes, my father’s vest
I’m just trying to keep myself composed
Making promises in borrowed clothes
I’ll be black and you be white
I’ll be left and you be right
I’ll be the Oregon coast, you be Eastern Time
We’ll move mountains when we compromise
You’re the one I’ll love from now until we die
And I can’t wait to start this new life
So let the song begin
While all the candles shake
Whatever’s past is gone
We’ve got a brand new slate
Forever’s on our tongues
No matter what it taken
And I am not afraid
So smile for every shot they take
Raise a glass and slice the cake
There’s a car outside with cans in wake
Leave our families here to celebrate
Playing house like we always said
You paint the walls, I’ll build a bed
There’s no rush, let all the boxes wait
We’ve got years to get the rooms arranged
You’re the one I’ll love from now until we die
And I’m not even trying to shake this smile
So let the song begin while all the candles shake
Whatever’s past is gone; we’ve got a brand new slate
Forever’s on our tongues
No matter what it takes
And I am not afraid
