Say Yes
Lukas Graham Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm going back inside that church again
To marry her and I'll let go of him
I still remember where he lay
She's gonna pass that very spot today

She's so beautiful wearing her dress
I watch her father take her hand in his
And they walk by that very spot
Reminding me of everything I've got

I know I won't find love like you

And I know you know I'm not perfect
I hope you find that I'm worth it
I'm gonna show, you won't be alone
And we could grow old, baby, we could grow old
Say yes and you won't regret it
Your heart won't break, I won't let it
I'll make you see, it's not make-believe
And we could grow old, baby, we could grow old

I'm at the altar on the brink of tears
We miss a few, but all the rest are here
And as I hear the organ play
I swear to God that it was worth the wait

I know I won't find love like you

And I know you know I'm not perfect
I hope you find that I'm worth it
I'm gonna show, you won't be alone
And we could grow old, baby, we could grow old
Say yes and you won't regret it
Your heart won't break, I won't let it
I'll make you see, it's not make-believe
And we could grow old, baby, we could grow old

I don't know where I'd be
Where I'd be without her
She gave me love and life when feeling I was nothing worth
Yeah, nothing worth
Haven't you noticed?
Haven't you noticed?

I know I won't find love like you

And I know you know I'm not perfect
I hope you find that I'm worth it
I'm gonna show, you won't be alone
And we could grow old, baby, we could grow old
Say yes and you won't regret it
Your heart won't break, I won't let it




I'll make you see, it's not make-believe
And we could grow old, baby, we could grow old
