A Song From A Knife Salesman To His Wife On Their Wedding Day

well darlin this is it, and I'm not a complicated person 
 you're all I've got, and I mean you're all I'll ever need 
 just like you are, you look like you could use these open arms 
 with these broken arms, I'll try and hold you all together 
 you spun the wheels, on this rusty heart, & I'll never be the same 
 and we're no accident, 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 

 so take another step, just take another step, take another breath with me 
 take 2 more steps, and I'll let you rest, but one more step for me 
 take another step, just one more step, take another breath with me 
 take 2 more steps, and then you'll rest, but take one more step towards me 

 I'm sure that this is it, our song's playing anyways 
 so let's go and dance, like ghosts 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 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 

 so take another step, just take another step, take another breath with me 
 take 2 more steps, and I'll let you rest, but one more step for me 
 take another step, just one more step, take another breath with me 
 take 2 more steps, and then you'll rest, but take one more step for me
