I never remember to pay my bills on time
I always break my promise to call you every night
I always reach for something that’s much too far away
Like driving too fast for your liking
They’re on the list of things
I need to change
I always pray for sunshine
Just when it starts to rain
I’ve always wanted wings
To add to the list of things I can never change
But in you I’ve found
What my traveler was looking for
So I’ll kick off my shoes
And unpack my bags and I’ll stay
If that’s OK
I want to be the father of the children that you bear
So I can see your childhood just as if I’d been there
Count your little fingers
Watch you try my shoes
Watch you learn to swing
It’s on my list of things I never want to change
Because in you I’ve found
What my traveler was looking for
So I’ll kick off my shoes
And unpack my bags and I’ll stay
If that’s OK
Let every morning’s sunshine find me by your side
Take my wedding ring
You’re first on the list of things I never want to change
