You Know Damn Well

Grant me access to your patience
Give me the OK to take my time
Cause I'm not sure what comes next
I just know for now you're mine

I kick at the dirt while you wait
Looking down I feel much better
Cause I know if I look up
They'll be a change in the weather

And with that change, here comes the wind
And with the wind, it brings the rain
And once it rains, I'll hide away
Until the sun comes back to say

"You know damn well
There's not much I can do,
If you don't let
The rain wash over you"

Say I offered you a deal
One that's fair and rather even
One that changes your last name
A promise that I'm never leaving

We'll use our hands to build a home
One that fits more than few
One that shelters while we grow
All our love so fresh and true

We can be on the same team
And change it all from 'you and me'
To a simple 'us and we'
I'm hoping that you'll say to me,

"You know damn well,
Every storm that passes through
I'll always be
Standing in the rain with you."
