The Forever Intent

Verse 1 I’ve been sitting with my thoughts lately Tracing the lines of where we stand It hasn’t been long, but it’s been long enough To know I’m holding a forever kind of hand Everything feels right, everything feels easy Like a song I’ve known before I heard the melody. Chorus So this isn't a question, not quite yet No diamond catching light, no debt to be met But it’s a promise whispered in the space between A vision of a future that I’ve already seen Carry Anne, you’re my happy ever after Even if we’re living under different rafters. Verse 2 We’ve got lives to build and kids to grow Years of "goodnights" before we share a home I’m grounded in the now, I’m looking at the clock But my heart is already built upon your rock I’m not down on a knee, but I’m standing by your side With a devotion that I never want to hide. Bridge Consider this a "pre-proposal," a line in the sand A firm intention, a map of the land I’m fully committed, I’m all the way in Waiting for the day the real "always" begins. Chorus No, it isn't a question, not quite yet No diamond catching light, no debt to be met But it’s a promise whispered in the space between A vision of a future that I’ve already seen Carry Anne, you’re my happy ever after Even if we’re living under different rafters. Outro Just a matter of time... Until the day I make you mine. Yeah, you’re my happy ever after. My firm intention.
