Ours

Elevator buttons in morning air
Stranger silence makes me wanna take the stairs
If you were here, we’d laugh about their vacant stares
But right now, my time is theirs
Seems like there’s always someone who disapproves
They’ll judge it like they know about me and you
And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do
The jury is out, but my choice is you

So don’t you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks with things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high
The water’s rough
But this love is ours

You never know what people have up their sleeves
Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me
Lurking in the shadows with their lip-gloss smiles
But I don’t care, ’cause right now you’re mine
And you say: Don’t you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks with things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high
The water’s rough
But this love is ours

And it’s not theirs to speculate
If it’s wrong and
Your hands are tough but they are where mine belong
And I’ll fight their doubt and give you faith with this song for you

‘Cause I love the gap between your teeth
And I love the riddles that you speak
And any snatch remarks from my father about your tattoos
Will be ignored, ’cause my heart is yours

So don’t you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
Don’t you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
But they can’t take what’s ours
They can’t take what’s ours
The stakes are high
The water’s rough
But this love is ours
