Lyrics:

When I was younger, I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart and I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my momma swore that she would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist
But darling...
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
Well maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone
Or keep a straight face
And I've always lived like this keeping a comfortable
Distance
And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
Well...
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't let go of what's part of me here
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream
Whoa...
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing
Oh and I'm on my way to believing
Merrily we fall out of line, out of line.
I'd fall anywhere with you
I'm by your side.
Swinging in the rain
Humming melodies.
We're not going anywhere until we freeze.
I'm not afraid anymore
I'm not afraid.
Forever is a long time
But I wouldn't mind spending it by your side.
Carefully we'll place for our destiny.
You came and you took this heart
And set it free.
Every word you write and sing is so warm to me
So warm to me.
I'm torn, I'm torn.
To be right where you are.
I'm not afraid anymore.
I'm not afraid.
Forever is a long time.
But I wouldn't mind spending it by your side.
Tell me everyday
I get to wake up to that smile.
I wouldn't mind it at all.
I wouldn't mind it at all.
You so know me.
Pinch me gently.
I can hardly breathe.
Forever is a long, long time.
But I wouldn't mind spending it by your side.
Tell me, everyday I get to wake up to that smile.
I wouldn't mind it at all.
I wouldn't mind it at all.
