Locked Up

They say today’s your day

But they don’t understand

There aren’t enough words on this earth

To satisfy this man

To help me to convey

What it really means

To be lost with you in this endless book

And the pages in between

So, as the world complains

About being locked up with nothing to do

I just can’t complain

I get to be locked up here with you

You always put them first

Nothing matters more

And if someone does them wrong

You just settle every score

Nothing gives you joy

Like getting them ready for their day

You wrap them up in kindness,

and send them on their way

When the day’s done, you collapse

Say I love you babe, sleep well

I just watch you sleep

Think about how my life would be hell

Without my light, my moon, my stars

My guide, my faith, my song

I wouldn’t be half a man

If I ever did you wrong

So, as the world complains

About being locked up with nothing to do

I just can’t complain

I get to be locked up here with you

I guess I must confess

There’s one thing I can’t let go

I wish I’d met you sooner

About ten more years or so

Cause while every day’s a gift

When it’s over it’s just gone

And I want this life forever

And our story to go on

So, as the world complains

About being locked up with nothing to do

I just can’t complain

I get to be locked up here with you
