[Verse 1]
By the sight of your sweet sleeping head
I am relieved of my shadows
Shadows
This is life before our vows are read
Our roads will split and narrow
Narrow

[Chorus]
I’m glad you chose the underdog
We both needed space to grow
You approached me on your guard
I’m happy that you took me home

[Post-Chorus]
You build me up
You build me up
You build me up to break me down
You build me up
You build me up
You build me up to break me down

[Verse 2]
Don’t be afraid
I will protect your skin
Hair, eyes, and face
And beautiful from within
Your hands, cuticles tiny damn
Little toes, you are behind me
And in front, and side to side
Imma lose myself
Hoping you’ll find me again my love
[Bridge]
By the sight of your life-giving eyes
I will relive like a Pharaoh
Pharaoh
This is life before my ship capsizes
Our seas will split and shallow
Shallow

[Chorus]
I’m glad you chose the underdog
We both needed space to grow
You approached me on your guard
I’m happy that you took me home

[Post-Chorus]
You build me up
You build me up
You build me up to break me down
You build me up
You build me up
You build me up to break me down

[Outro]
I’ve travelled many foreign states
Placed their food upon my plate
All this just to learn one truth
I’m nothing ever without you
