about

A song I wrote for my wife for Valentine's Day, based on a bunch of songs, mostly punk rock love songs, she likes.
Also I must admit I got the idea for a song like this from Jarrod Alonge.

lyrics

Check yes Elayna
Grab your passport
Together we'll go see the world
Wherever God leads us to go we'll go

Look and then swipe left
Here's a map on your phone no one uses old maps
Be Pennsylvania's best
All I ask here's your task

It's time to get up
It's five minutes to sunlight
Come on wake up early and bright
Your not a morning person and that's quite alright
Alright
It's five minutes to date night
Let's stare up at the stars tonight
They'll never be as bright as you, facts!
And now

Let's go
No wait
We forgot our jackets
Honest
We might
Really need our jackets
It's cold out
So cold out
What do you call this white stuff?
It's cold out
So cold out
You know I am not from here

Yeah I'm from Texas
It's just not the same
Everything here is so small
But the trees sure are tall
I'm glad you drove here so you could be my mate
There's a seat for you in my Chevy Spark
And I've got your playlists saved
I might've added a couple songs to them you might hate

They quickly come and go
All people a blur
Strangers, acquaintances
This feeling's killer
But I am glad
You have my back
And I will always have yours
Did you know that I love you with all four loves?
I remember like it was yesterday

It was some day in December
Had that jacket on your shoulders
It was cold but we ate ramen in the parking lot
We were talking
Said you loved me
And I said I love you too see
There's this book by C. S. Lewis
It's called The Four Loves
(ha ha)

Hey there Elayna
I don't know how you read so quickly
You read a thousand pages an hour
And girl to me that's just so crazy
Yes it is
Time flies I don't know what to do
Wish I could be like you
Now

Pennsylvania
Rest in peace
We'll be back eventually
Pennsylvania
Off your knees
She's no priestess I'm no priest
(We're not Catholic)
No! No! No! No!

I vowed that I would be with you for better
Or worse, I love you now and forever
Let the waves crash down on us when we go surfing yeah yeah

If you could see the your the one who understands me
Wait you already do
Your vision's better than 20/20
My vision is not 20/20

But I don't need
Perfect eye sight to see that you're beautiful
Looking out
I can see forever
Cuz when I look
At you I see
Our God and Savior
Let's go and see the world together
Now this holiday won't you be my
Valentine
