You Make Me Happy Enough

I sat behind you in your sunday school seat
You'd made paper airplane and I thought it was neat
So I spilled all of your kool-aid as an excuse to meet
and maybe take that plane for a spin
Soon we became friends and soon we became grown
and it wasn't long 'till we were sneaking out our windows
so we could meet by the lake and talk about plans we'd make
and school and dreams and problems and such

(I though)
You make me happy enough to want to find out what being in love feels like
You make me feel safe enough to care

I just wanted you to fall down for me
so I could fall to my knee and beg you to please
come and carry my ring so we could live happily
through life in love together awhile
Soon we traded circles and you stole my last name
then we rode off in the sunset through a rice covered rain
The times they got hard but we never complained
We just laughed at all the bills as they piled

You make me happy enough to never wonder what being in love feels like
You make me feel brave enough to tell you all the time
I can't accurately say how much you mean to me
For every time that I try it changes, you see 
to more and more and more and more and more...

We sit on the porch, staring up at the moon

You tell a stupid joke, I kind of make fun of you

I light up a smoke and you ask for one too

and say, "these things are gonna kill me"

I say, "it's probably true, but if I die next to you

then I'm fine passing through into the sky ever blue"

If they kill me they do - but it's fine because you

have been the only one who fulfills me

You make me happy enough to never wonder what being in love feels like
You make me feel brave enough to tell you all the time
I can't accurately say how much you mean to me
For every time that I try it changes, you see 
to more and more and more and more and more...

Look at us now in matching hospital beds

Telling jokes that simply go over the young nurses heads

I push back my tray full of yogurt and bread

to lean over and to kiss you goodnight
(and say)

You make me happy enough to never wonder what being in love feels like

You make me feel brave enough that I won't mind if we go tonight

You've taken my breath away, my dear

From day one to here, through tomorrow to nowhere

I can't accurately say how much you mean to me

For every time that I try it changes, you see 

to more and more and more and more and more...
