What is this? I can't describe.
It just is, what it is.
My heart aches. You're so far away.
Holding on for that day
When your feet touch on the ground, fireworks all around.
And it's you and me, from here on out Emily.
What we share, is more than most.
There's a bond, that pulls us close.
it's not fair, like some cruel trick.
But we're holding on. Yeah, we'll make it stick.
When your feet touch on the ground, fireworks all around.
And it's you and me, from here on out Emily.
And if we're down and out, remember don't dismay.
As long as we have WiFi it's OK.
I just want, to make it real.
And I know, that's how you feel.
Cause when your feet touch on the ground, fireworks all around.
And it's you and me, from here on out Emily.
Yeah, It's you and me from here on out, Emily.

Emily, It's getting harder to see. A future without you and me.
Emily. It was meant to be. There's a reason that you're all I see.
Please stay with me until the end of our days.
I Promise it will be worth it in so many ways.
Believe in what we have right now and to where our future lays.
With us, in love, always.
Emily. Eventually, we'll be living our lives happily.
Emily. Your heart given to me, Protected for all eternity.
Please stay with me until the end of our days.
I Promise it will be worth it in so many ways.
Believe in what we have right now and to where our future lays.
With us, in love, always.
Emily. I want the world to see, The woman I love, has fallen for me.
Please stay with me until the end of our days.
I Promise it will be worth it in so many ways.
Believe in what we have right now and to where our future lays.
With us, in love, always.
With us, in love, always.

More Than Anybody Has

If you would've told me
That I'd be where I am now
I would have told you
That you were mistaken somehow.
Four thousand miles away
And everyday I can feel
That distance shrinking fast
And I'll be holding her for real.
And I believe that she and me
Have something bigger than even we can see
More than anybody has and more than anybody will.
It's never easy
To be apart this way
But we know it will be worth it
Leading all up to that day
You can call it what you want
Destiny or fate
Ill just call it for what it is
A love that is so great
And I believe that she and me
Have something bigger than even we can see
More than anybody has and more than anybody will.
People just don't know what we're going through
Or what we're going to do.
I know that they're out there
And I can't speak for them all
But what her and I have
Is never going to fall.
And I believe that she and me
Have something bigger than even we can see
More than anybody has and more than anybody will.
More than anybody has and more than anybody will.

Cozy Cabin

I can't wait to spend every night in your cozy cabin
It's so nice and warm
I never ever want to leave
It always feels like home in your cozy cabin.
Hidden far away
Nestled deep in the woods
I love the long road trip to your cozy cabin.
I'll take the scenic route
I really love to take my time
So many sights to see on my way to your cozy cabin.
I can't wait to spend every night in your cozy cabin.

Lucky

How lucky am I
She saved me more than she knows
How lucky am I
She needs me more than I'll ever know
You never think that second chances come
But then when they do, you finally found the one
How grateful am I
She loves me more than I'll know
How grateful am I
I love her more than she'll ever know
I can't believe as sure as the rising sun
That she picked me, now our lives have just begun
Every day I'm thankful for my girl
In every way I will promise her the world
How lucky am I
