Lyrics
[verse]
We built a house from paper plans and luck
Painted the walls the color of "don't give up"
Every window facing where the light comes in
I found my calm inside your restless grin
[verse]
You leave your shoes right by the kitchen door
I keep finding reasons to stay a little more
Slow dance in the hallway, no music playing
Just two hearts learning what forever's saying
[chorus]
Stay with me under these shimmering skies
Promise me your hand and I won't ask you why
Take my whole future, wrap it soft and slow
Darling, keep me close wherever we go
This is the sweetest kind of ever-after
Built on quiet nights and easy laughter
[verse]
Your name is written on the fogged-up glass
Every season feels like it was made to last
We keep our secrets in the porch light glow
Two shadows dancing where the embers grow
[chorus]
Stay with me under these shimmering skies
Promise me your hand and I won't ask you why
Take my whole future, wrap it soft and slow
Darling, keep me close wherever we go
This is the sweetest kind of ever-after
Built on quiet nights and easy laughter
[bridge]
Can I be yours through every storm that comes
Through the good years and the harder ones
I'll take the whole of you, the calm, the wild
Sign my name beside yours, no more denial
[chorus]
Stay with me under these shimmering skies
Promise me your hand and I won't ask you why
Take my whole future, wrap it soft and slow
Darling, keep me close wherever we go
This is the sweetest kind of ever-after
Built on quiet nights and easy laughter
