The List

One night, I couldn't sleep

So I made a List of everything

I needed her to be

Before I jumped into the deep again

Cuz' I've been there many times

Broke some hearts

Had others break mine

But I gave it one last try

As I took my pen and began to write

First thing's first, she's gotta be sweet

Gets along with my family

Has a heart that's full of empathy

A smile so bright it's crippling

Of course she's gotta be

Cool with my friends

Can take their jokes

And dish right back at them

And laugh it off in the end

And she

Dances on summer days

Her glass is half full when skies are grey

She sticks around when seasons change

When times get tough, she's not afraid

She says just what she means

Doesn't take things too seriously

And that's The List I'm sticking to

It's how I'll know when it's to you

She's gotta have a sense of style

But somehow

Looks good in anything

Laughs at my stupid jokes

Even though

She's funnier than me

And whenever she's around

The weight of life

Feels just a little lighter

Cuz there's nobody like her

And she

Dances on summer days

Her glass is half full when skies are grey

She sticks around when seasons change

When times get tough, she's not afraid

She says just what she means

Doesn't take things too seriously

And somehow that List came true

On the day I met you

You

It was You

It was You

It was You

Now we're

Dancing on summer days

The years go by

But our love stays the same

Through the beauty

And the pain of life

We hold each other

It still amazes to me

You fit that List so perfectly

I can't believe it's true

The List I made

That night, in my room

That List was you

That List was you

The List was you

You

The List was always you
