When we met, we were so unsure
I guess we’d both been through the wringer before,
But it wasn’t long ‘til we were never apart
And something started stirring in our patched-up hearts
So we, bought an old house with a broken down shed
We kept a tidy kitchen and a messy bed
Drinkin’ cheap wine by candlelight
While we played our favourite songs and talked all night
It wasn’t much, it wasn’t grand, it wasn’t easy - but we had a masterplan
To tell each other that I promise, to love ya, you’re my one and only lover
Through the good times and bad times - I’ll always need you near
I’ll wear your ring – and I’ll always be right here
Working hard and growing up
Yeah at times we’d fight, but we had fun making up
Taking walks down by the riverside
Or laying up in the attic with the storm outside
And sometimes we’d drive West just to get away
In your favourite car and let the radio play
Leave the world behind and throw out routine
With my feet up on your dashboard like a hippy queen
It wasn’t much, it wasn’t grand, it wasn’t easy - but we had a masterplan
To fill each day with lots of kissin and huggin, sort our fights out before morning
Lots of laughing, lovin, and at night when we went to sleep
We’d tell each other – I’ll always be right here
It wasn’t much, it wasn’t grand, it wasn’t easy - but we had a masterplan
Year after year – I’ll always be right here
It wasn’t long before we two were three
Then along came four to make our family
You sold your fast car and bought a sensible ride
But you still look cool to me on your motorbike
It’s you and me together while we’re growing old
And you know I wouldn’t trade that, not for diamonds or gold
And there’s no other man could catch my eye
Well – not unless Charlie Hunnam walks by
There’s nothing big enough tear us down
We’ve been tested to the limit, and we’re still around
And maybe things aren’t always gonna turn out right
But we’re still here together baby side by side
And it isn’t much, but we’ve got the stars, down on our luck – but honey we still made it this far
And I wanna tell you that I promise, I still love ya, you’re my one and only lover
Through the good times and bad times – I’ll always need you near
No matter what, no matter what, no matter what – I’ll always be right here.
