"The Wedding Song" lyrics - RENEE RAPP

There's an old song I wrote for you
It was everything you'd want it to be
A melody lift, a minor chord fall
It was timeless like you and me

[Pre-Chorus:]
And when the chorus hit it felt like flyin'
It would've played at every wedding night, and
It went like

[Chorus:]
You are my one, you set my world on fire
I know there's Heaven, but we must be higher
I'm gonna love you 'til my heart retires
Forever we'll last
I think it went something like that

There's an old song I wrote for you
I would play it for all of our friends
It would make 'em all dance, it'd make 'em all cry
When it's over they said, "Play it again"

[Pre-Chorus:]
I would have sang it to you soft and sweet
You'd want it every anniversary
And it went like

[Chorus:]
You are my one, you set my world on fire
I know there's Heaven but we must be higher (We must be higher)
I'm gonna love you 'til my heart retires
Forever we'll last
I think it went something like that

[Bridge:]
Why'd you have to mess it all up?
Why'd you have to burn it all down?
The words were so perfect, the world should've heard it
And sang every line out loud
Why'd you have to mess it all up?
Why'd you have to burn it all down?
Should've played on the radio, day after day
'Til they say that it's all played out
Now, now
And it went like

[Chorus:]
You are my one, you set my world on fire
I know there's Heaven, but we must be higher
I'm gonna love you 'til my heart retires
Forever we'll last
I think it went something like that

[Outro:]
Forever we'll last
I think it went something like that
