Say Yes

Nine o'clock, Thanksgiving Eve
You called up to see if it would be alright for you
To get in your car and drive on up the coast to visit me
I thought, "Everything that happens for me this moment on
Will forever be defined by your bravery"

You pulled in right beside my house on the hill
And I watched your headlights go out, I opened up the door
Before you even got the chance to get your hand
Out of your jacket pocket to knock

Off with your coat, off with your hat
Standing right in front of me, there was no denying that
In less than half a day I went from all alone to all yours, full stop
You said, "Say yes"
You said, "Say yes"

You went into the kitchen, smiling with hungry hands
Wearing the winter socks, we were barely able to stand
No one has ever felt anything at all like you before
Non stop talking, nervous, nothing in our way

When he kissed me, quiet covered every mistake I've ever made
I felt my heart move into place
When you said, "Say yes"
You said, "Say yes"

When the morning came you were still here
With your arm draped across my body, I had a ringing in my ear
Mesmerized, terrified by the blinding truth that I was through
On this morning of Thanks, I was makin' coffee for two
