Your first year together. One song about the paper moments.

Verse 1

Rain came down the morning we got married,blurred the windows of that little church,Danny stood there patting every pocket,lost our rings for twenty minutes' search.We laughed about it standing in the doorway,soaked right through, but neither of us cared,because a day like that was never perfect,it was better, it was ours, it was rare.

Chorus

And that's how paper starts, a little crumpled,folded soft, but somehow holding fast,Megan, you're the one who writes it all down,so let this be my page about our first year passed.

Verse 2

That rented flat with the oven we can't trust,burnt the dinner more than once or twice,we brought home a cat nobody else was choosing,now she owns the whole flat, price for price.Before the sofa came there was the carpet,takeaway boxes, candle stub for light,we sat there happy with so little around us,and that was enough to get the whole thing right.

Chorus

That's how paper starts, a little crumpled,folded soft, but somehow holding fast,Megan, you're the one who writes it all down,so let this be my page about our first year passed.

Bridge

You've got the words, I've just got the feeling,one small flat, one cat, one crooked door,the rain that day was only just rehearsing,for every storm we'd weather, and want more.

Final Chorus

So here's my paper, here's my first year story,written plain, no fancy turn of phrase,you taught me how to notice all the small things,Megan, this is us, on our first anniversary of days.

Outro

Twenty minutes lost, and then the rings were found,perfect, imperfect, that's how we began,one year in, still choosing you, still choosing us,paper thin, and stronger than we planned.
