Ours

Elevator buttons in morning air

Strangers silence makes me wanna take the stairs

If you were here we'd laugh about their vacant stares

But right now

My time is theirs

Seems like there's always

someone who disapproves

They'll judge it like they know about me and you

And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do

The jury's out

But my choice is you

So don't you worry your

pretty little mind

People throw rocks at things that shine

And life makes love look hard

The stakes are high,

The water's rough,

But this love is ours

You never know what people

have up their sleeves

Ghosts from your past

gonna jump out at me

Lurking in the shadows

with their lip gloss smiles

But I don't care

Cause right now you're mine

And you'll say don't you

worry your pretty little mind

People throw rocks at things that shine

And life makes love look hard

The stakes are high,

The water's rough,

But this love is ours

And it's not theirs to

speculate if it's wrong

And your hands are tough but they are where mine belong

And I'll fight their

doubt and give you faith

With this song for you

Cause I love the gap between your teeth

And I love the riddles that you speak

And any snide remarks from

my father about your tattoos will be ignored

Cause my heart is yours

So don't you worry your pretty little mind

People throw rocks at things that shine

And life makes love look hard

Don't you worry your pretty little mind

People throw rocks at things that shine

But they can't take what's ours

They can't take what's ours

The stakes are high,

The water's rough,

But this love is ours.
