Promise me you’ll never settle

The sky does not need to be blue

That’s what I learned from you

For someone who wants sparkle in their life

Let’s build a stone house in the woods
Bb Dm
I don’t know how to not be good to you
[Chorus]
Dm7
You won’t need a scale
G
To weigh how much love I have for

You won’t need a clock
G
To count the minutes I will wait for

You won’t need a level

I’ll walk on crooked floors if need be

I love you

Without speaking you will still dream of me

You’ll grow your hair out I’ll cut mine

I’ll think about you all the time

Promise me when our bones get brittle

You will still find glitter in everyday life

Come blue rain or pink sunshine
Dm7
We’ll still make love all the time
[Chorus]

You wont need a scale

I’ll walk on crooked floors if need be
