Your best friend introduced us

She said, “play it cool”

But no one played it cooler than you

I assuage my pride

I tell myself you’re shy

Or maybe I’m not the type you’re into

I tried to forget you

Shouldn’t it be simple?

At least it seemed so simple for you

Then two weeks later on

You kissed me at a party

In front of everybody we knew

You pulled me near and

The room disappeared and

Your hair was a mess

And I thought, ‘men have started wars for less’

And then I black in, I’m on one knee

In the middle of the party in my beat-up sneaks

And I’m out of my mind, and you’re out of my league

And darling you don’t know it yet, but you’re gonna marry me

Oh, I know I came off crazy

Blew every shot you gave me

We were gorgeous ships in the dark

Days turned into months, I

Heard you’re with some tall guy

Who never gets a character arc

We weren’t even talking

When I saw you dancing

On a table in a sundress

And men have started wars over so much less

And then I black in, I’m on one knee

in New York at midnight on a crowded street

And I’m out of my mind, and you’re out of my league

And darling you don’t know it yet, but you’re gonna marry me

No easy road is worth the going

We’re on and we’re off again,

But I keep your letters and

Wait for a sign

Devised or divine

Like it hadn’t been right there

All this time

And then I black in, I’m on one knee

With my father’s conviction and your grandma’s ring

And I’m out of my mind and you’re out of my league

But I know that look in your eye

It looks like you’re gonna marry me

Oh, no easy road is worth the going

We’re on and we’re off again,

But I keep your letters and

Wait for a sign

Devised or divine

Like it hadn’t been right there

All this time
