Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] First date You were late Spilling curry on your shirt Still you made my whole world wait Second week You met my friends You washed the dishes in my sink Like you'd been here ever since [Pre-Chorus] Step one Let me learn your laugh Your silence Step two Let me call your mother "Mom" in time Step three All the little boring days we balance Are the bricks we lay For this life of yours and mine [Chorus] This is my proposal Page by page We write it slow Every morning coffee Every ride back home No sudden fireworks Just a steady Tender glow This is my proposal Walk with me and watch it grow [Verse 2] Month six You keep a drawer Tiny toothbrush Faded tee Like you've always had a door Year one We miss the bus Laughing soaked under the rain Sharing one umbrella's trust [Pre-Chorus] Step four Let me budget dreams with your dreams Step five Hide a key inside your favorite book Step six Call you when the night feels heavy Hear you sigh Then smile And soften at your voice [Chorus] This is my proposal Page by page We write it slow Every Sunday dinner Every inside joke No sudden fireworks Just a steady Tender glow This is my proposal Walk with me and watch it grow [Bridge] Step seven We talk about children Where they'd sleep What names they'd have What kind of world we'd give them Step eight I meet you at the altar in my mind Long before the flowers Before we sign the line Step nine On a Tuesday In the kitchen light I ask you when you're barefoot "Stay with me for life?" (for life) [Chorus] This is my proposal Page by page We write it slow Every broken kettle Every mended hope No sudden fireworks Just a steady Tender glow This is my proposal Say you will and let it grow [Outro] Step ten Wake up wrinkled Still your man Same old hands Same golden band This is my proposal From right here To all we planned
