Verse 1
Baby, take off your coat
And I'll loosen my tie
Well you are far too beautiful
For us to turn off the lights
Your December skin
And the trail of our clothes
You can keep your socks on
If your feet are cold
Chorus
Sounds good playing these all open):
But I don't want to have to ask permission
Give me a chance
It won't be perfect
Just an unbroken promise from an imperfect man
Verse 2
Your red wine tongue
My sudden loss of breath
You like the sound of my heartbeat
When you lay your head on my chest
Chorus
But I don't want to have to ask permission
Give me a chance
It won't be perfect
Just an unbroken promise from an imperfect man
Bridge
So draw all the curtains, All the goodbyes are gone
Love found through love gone wrong
An unbroken promise from this broken man
To love you the best that I can
Verse 3
So baby, please take off your coat
Ohh and I'll turn on the lights
Cause baby I made plans
(no strumming)
To stay the rest of my life
