[Verse 1]
I was an unbridled Mustang, you stopped me dead with your stare
When I dismissed all your saddle busting, how quick was your whip in the air
And I was a boy who was lonely, only after you left made aware
With no hesitation or cold feet, we married the very next year

[Chorus 1]
And I write
Everything down that I like
And you've been written
Into the songs of my life

[Verse 2]
And I was a penniless orphan in a mansion that made me despair
Rich with affirming emotion but bankrupt of love I could share
You were the boy who was reckless and I was the girl to repair
But time spent apart seemed to make us
Face our...selves instead

[Chorus 2]
I write
Everything down that I like
And you've been written
Into the songs of my life
And I like the songs that we write
[Bridge]
The pages filled, recording wars and victories
That we've been given
Like altars built, preserving all our history
Yes, we've been written
In the melodies you gave to me

[Chorus 2]
I write
Everything down that I like
And you've been written
Into the songs of my life
And I like the songs that we write
And I write
Everything down that I like
And you've been written
Into the songs of my life
And I like the songs that we write
