There's an old song I wrote for you
It was everything you'd want it to be
Your melody lift, the minor chord fall
It was timeless like you and me
And when the chorus hit it felt like flyin'
It would've played at every wedding night, and
It went like

You were my one, you set my world on fire
I know there's Heaven but we must be higher
I'm gonna love you 'til my heart retires
Forever we'll last
I think it went something like that

There's an old song I wrote for you
I would play it for all of our friends
It'd make 'em all dance, it'd make 'em all cry
When it's over they said, "Play it again"
I would have sang it to you soft and sweet
You'd want it every anniversary
And it went like

You were my one, you set my world on fire
I know there's Heaven but we must be higher
(We must be higher)
I'm gonna love you 'til my heart retires
Forever we'll last
I think it went something like that

Why'd you have to mess it all up?
Why'd you have to burn it all down?
The words were so perfect
The world should've heard it
I sang every line out loud
Why'd you have to mess it all up?
Why'd you have to burn it all down?
Should've played on the radio
Day after day
'Til they say that it's all played out
And it went like

You were my one, you set my world on fire
I know there's Heaven but we must be higher
I'm gonna love you 'til my heart retires
Forever we'll last
I think it went something like that

Forever we'll last
I think it went something like tha
