Vanessa Carlton - I Don't Want To Be A Bride Lyrics

I like your company
Got a fresh philosophy
Never knew, such a gentleman
You could take me on a cheap vacation
I don't want to have expectations
'Cause you, could be the end of me

I don't need a house on a hill, swing on a tree
Grandfather clock, porcelain for tea
A garden with rose and jasmine
Gonna get drunk on a bottle of wine
No better way to pass the time
Forever by your side

But I don't want to be a bride
Apologies to your mother
I wanna be your girl
And spend this life with you
But I don't want to wear white
You know it's too late for that
Can we keep the ever after?
Could it be?

Don't need no golden ring
It'd be no match for the love you bring
From London, to Tennessee
We could, catch a train to another life
On a whim under the moonlight
I promise you, will you promise me?
Our last names on a wooden sign
Arm and arm where the river starts to wind
Forever by your side

But I don't want to be a bride
Apologies to each other
I wanna be your girl
And spend this life with you
But I don't want to wear white
Oh you know it's too late for that
But can we keep the ever after?
Oh could it be?
Just you and me?

Oooh, oooh, mmm

We will live like kings under lavender skies, skies
We will live like kings under lavender skies, skies
(We will)
Built a poem, we kept a rhyme
Wrapped our love in golden twine
And we wrote, we wrote a legacy
Just you and me
(Live like kings under lavender)
Just you and me
(Skies, skies, we will)
