The story behind this song
Two front doors became one driveway, and look how many shoes they own now. Neither of them planned to stand at an altar again — both walked in with chapters they don't pretend aren't there, kids with questions, hearts that already know what breaking feels like. He learned the allergies; she learned who braids whose hair. The youngest still calls him "hey, you," and he'll wait. He's got what it takes.
The kids picked the playlist and there's a dinosaur on the cake. For the couple making a vow wide enough to hold a whole back row of small shoes — braver than loving once, and they both know it.
Lyrics
Look how many shoes we own
We don't pretend aren't there
You learned my kids' allergies
I learned who braids whose hair
We're starting wider
Every small voice in the vow
I don't just promise you, my love
I promise this whole crowd
The brave thing isn't loving once —
It's standing here, this sure, right now
There's a dinosaur on the cake
Your youngest calls me "hey, you" still —
I'll wait. I've got what it takes
And it kept on measuring up
Every small voice in the vow
I don't just promise you, my love
I promise this whole crowd
The brave thing isn't loving once —
It's standing here, this sure, right now
"That's the day we all got married"
And they'll be right — the papers say two names
But the promise carried everybody
Every small voice in the vow
I don't just promise you, my love
I promise this whole crowd
The brave thing isn't loving once —
It's standing here, this sure, right now
All of us, from here on out
