about

A lovely wedding song that was written for a couple with a great story

lyrics

I met you in a Balmain bar

I'd never been there and I've never been there since

You put your arm around me and danced for me

No I swear I didn't dance
I saw your ocean blues and called out 'whoo'

and that made me confused

I got your number, you got all of my T-shirts

I can't promise you
I've ever give up meat for you but
I can promise you one thing

Kiss me on day 31 in August
Kiss me in a very public place
Kiss me on day 31 in August
and I will kiss you every other day

I can find lots of things I like
like your sense of humour and cheeky smiles
Your stealing my socks and popping my pimples
and messing up my car seats when you're cleaning your cuticles

You're kind and you're patient
You see good in me
You're leaving the lights on and falling asleep
when you drink too quickly

I can't say to you
I'd jump out of a plane with you but
I can promise you one thing

In love with what I do not like about you
I said that I would kiss you and I'm about to
