Alternative Wedding Song Lyrics For RocknRoll Brides & Grooms

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I’d want is you to be my sweet honey bee
And if I was a tree growing tall and green
All I’d want is you to shade me and be my leaves

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea

If you were a river in the mountains tall
The rumble of your water would be my call
If you were the winter, I know I’d be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, when the cold winds blow

CHORUS

If you were a wink, I’d be a nod
If you were a seed, well I’d be a pod
If you were the floor, I’d wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I’d be a hug

CHORUS

If you were the wood, I’d be the fire
If you were the love, I’d be the desire
If you were a castle, I’d be your moat
And if you were an ocean, I’d learn to float

CHORUS

You’re a part time lover and a full time friend
The monkey on your back is the latest trend
I don’t see what anyone can see in anyone else but you

I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of the train
I kiss you all starry eyed, my body’s swinging from side to side
I don’t see what anyone can see in anyone else but you

Here is the church and here is the steeple
We sure are cute for two ugly people
I don’t see what anyone can see in anyone else but you

The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me
So why can’t you forgive me?
I don’t see what anyone can see in anyone else but you

I will find my niche in your car
With my MP3, DVD, rumple-packed guitar
I don’t see what anyone can see in anyone else but you

Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B A start
Just because we use cheats doesn’t mean we’re not smart
I don’t see what anyone can see in anyone else but you

You are always trying to keep it real
I’m in love with how you feel
I don’t see what anyone can see in anyone else but you

We both have shiny happy fits of rage
You want more fans, I want more stage
I don’t see what anyone can see in anyone else but you

Don Quixote was a steel driving man
My name is Adam, I’m your biggest fan
I don’t see what anyone can see in anyone else but you

Squinched up your face and did a dance
You shook a little turd out of the bottom of your pants
I don’t see what anyone can see in anyone else but you

There has been but one true love
In my baby’s arms, in my baby’s arms
And I got the hands to hold onto them

I get sick of just about everyone
And I hide in my baby’s arms, hide in my baby’s arms
‘Cause except for her, you know, as I’ve implied

I will never ever ever be alone
‘Cause it’s all in my baby’s hands
Shiny, shiny secret stones
In my baby’s hands, in my baby’s hands

I get sick of just about everyone
And I hide in my baby’s arms

Shrink myself just like a tom thumb
And I hide in my baby’s hands, hide in my baby’s hands
‘Cause except for her there just ain’t nothin’ to latch onto

There has been but one true love
In my baby’s arms, in my baby’s arms
In my baby’s arms, in my baby’s arms

Oh you crawled out of the sea
Straight into my arms,
Straight into my arms

Oh you crawled out of the sea
Straight into my arms,
Straight into my arms

Oh you crawled out of the sea
Straight into my arms,
Straight into my arms

​Oh you crawled out of the sea
Straight into my arms,
Straight into my arms

Oh the bitter winds are coming in
And I’m already missing the summer
Stockholm’s cold but I’ve been told
I was born to endure this kind of weather

When it’s you I find like a ghost in my mind
​I am defeated and I gladly wear the crown

I’ll be your Emmylou and I’ll be your June
If you’ll be my Gram and my Johnny too
No, I’m not asking much of you
Just sing little darling, sing with me

Now so much I know that things just don’t grow
If you don’t bless them with your patience
And I’ve been there before I held up the door
For every stranger with a promise

But I’m holding back, that’s the strength that I lack
Every morning keeps returning at my window
And it brings me to you and I won’t just pass through
But I’m not asking for a storm

CHORUS

And yes I might have lied to you
You wouldn’t benefit from knowing of the truth
I was frightened but I held fast
I need you now at long last

​CHORUS

I want flatlands
I never cared about money and all its friends
I want flatlands

I want flatlands
I don’t want precious stones
I never cared about anything you’ve ever owned

I want flatlands
I want simplicity
I need your arms wrapped hard around me

I want open plains and scattered trees
I want flower fields
I want salty seas

I want flatlands soft and steady breeze
bringing scents of lined-up orchard trees
dripping heavy with pears and dancing leaves

I want flatlands
will you go there with me

when it’s said in the dark and you know it’s always there
when it’s dead in our heart but your mind is unafraid
when it’s said in the dark and you know it’s never coming back
when it’s there in your heart in your mind you set it free

Saw your face
My hand you took
Just like in a storybook

And you got me
Yeah, you got me

I can’t even argue
Couldn’t, cause it’s true

Now you got me
Yeah, you got me

Got me tucked up in your pocket
Don’t know how you won my heart
Cause I’d locked it
Yeah, I’d locked it

I can’t feel your heartbeat
Where I lay my head

Cause you got me
Yeah, you got me

I can’t feel your heartbeat
Where I lay my head

Cause you got me
Yeah, you got me

Got me tucked up in your pocket
Don’t know how you won my heart
Cause I’d locked it
Yeah, I’d locked it

Oh blue days of spring, and I’m thinking about you baby
The moon and the ring, it was hung up for you baby
I took my old car, and I rolled down to the station
and I waited in the bar, but I would never see your face again

I could fight in the ring
I could walk on a string
even grow a moustache for you

The night black as tar, and the band was playing shady
Your eyes full of stars, and you used to shake that thing little baby
You swung your little shoes so hard bet it could brake the neck on a stallion
and I spun like a fuse on a turkish nuclear powerline

I could fight in the ring
I could walk on a string
even grow a moustache for you

And now the angels stand all lined up, bringing everything you want
And your left like a gypsy monroe, I can hear it in my dream so clear and strong

Oh blue days of spring, and I’m thinking about you baby
The moon and the ring, it was hung up for you baby
I took my old car, and I rolled down to the station
and I waited in the bar, but I would never see your face again

I could fight in the ring
I could walk on a string
even grow a moustache for you

The river never ceases flowin’,
but I can’t go with you today,
cos’ I know a thing or two myself

as sure as I’m tired in the mornin’,
I know I’ll be gettin’ through the day,
cos’ I know a thing or two myself

Stones sink, wool it shrinks, and I got you
Grass grows, I got ten toes, and I got you

Bird flies north in the cold,
To find itself a place in the warmth,
well I know, a trick or two myself

People say that I’m the fool,
Sometimes thats probly’ very true
but I know a thing or two myself

The earth turns, wood it burns, and I got you
Leaves fall, seeds get tall, and I got you

Sun it rises for the next day,
Stars they all shine through the night,
I know a thing or two myself

Things don’t always go quite right
But I don’t let that worry me at all,
cos’ I know a thing or two myself

Stones sink, wool it shrinks, and I got you
Grass grows, I got ten toes, and I got you

Oh, honeybear, honeybear, honeybear ooh-ooh
Mascara blood ash and cum
On the rorschach sheets where we make love

Honeybear, honeybear, honeybear ooh-ooh
Fuck the world damn straight malaise
It may be just us who feel this way

But don’t ever doubt this, my steadfast conviction
My love, you’re the one I want to watch the ship go down with
The future can’t be real, I barely know how long a moment is
Unless we’re naked getting high on the mattress
While the global market crashes
As death fills the streets we’re garden variety oblivious
You grab my hand and say
In I-told-you-so voice
“It’s just how we expected.”

Everything is doomed, and nothing will be spared
But I love you, honeybear ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
Honeybear, honeybear, honeybear ooh-ooh

You’re bent over the altar
And the neighbors are complaining
That the misanthropes next door
Are probably conceiving a damian

Don’t they see the darkness rising?
Good luck figuring oblivion
We’re getting out now while we can

You’re welcome boys, have the last of the smokes and chicken
Just one cadillac will do to get us out to where we’re going
I’ve brought my mother’s depression
You’ve got your father’s scorn and a wayward aunt’s schizophrenia

But everything is fine
Don’t give into despair
Cause I love you, honeybear

I’m flyin (flying)
In a frame of my mind
That time cannot erase

I’m seein’ (seein’)
The future, the past
As I lay the present to waste

I’m scopin’ (scopin’)
All these feelings I have
And hopin’ for them to come true

And I’m holdin’
Something more precious than fine ore
Baby, I’m holdin’ you

I’m breathin’ (breathin’)
The fumes of the grid
That rid my lobe of oxygen

I’m climbin’ (climbin’)
The walls to where good
And evil make amends

I’m trippin’ (trippin’)
Writhin’ and squealing, pewkin’
Looking for someone like you

And I’m holdin’
Something more precious than fine ore
Baby, I’m holdin’ you

I’m sticking with you
Cause I’m made out of glue
Anything that you might do
I’m gonna do too

You held up a stage coach in the rain
And I’m doing the same
Saw you’re hanging from a tree
And I made believe it was me

I’m sticking with you
Cause I’m made out of glue
Anything that you might do
I’m gonna do too

Some people go
Into the stratosphere
Soldiers fighting
With the cong

But with you by my side
I can do anything
When we swing
We hang past right or wrong

I’ll do anything for you
Anything you want me too
I’ll do anything for you
Oh I’m sticking with you
Oh I’m sticking with you
Oh I’m sticking with you

You’re the nose on my bullet, the trigger on my gun
You’re the sandbank in the ocean, oxygen in my blood
You’re the fastest of the fish, you’re the prickliest pear
You’re a chameleon in the night, you’re the sahara’s sun glare

You’re my mind’s rest, you’re the strings on my guitar
You’re the wax in my moustache, the keys to my car
You’re the magical mermaid’s hollowed illusion
You cool them, fool them, and they hope so much
And you let them down, and you watch from your rock
And your heart beats fast as you watch their’s stop

I will keep on loving, ‘cos I believe in love
I don’t mind dying, if you follow me up
Your victory’s your defeat, your head above your heart
Only the brave surrender, death cannot tear us apart

Death cannot tear us apart
Death cannot tear us apart
Death cannot tear us apart

Well my smile is wider, than your’s when we meet
And the winter is colder, for me underneath
And I know that you glow, from the inside out
You can keep it for yourself and I’ll go without

You are the fire and I’m the chimney
You’ll burn away and I’ll choke on your memory
All the words, my sense, you’re the poet to my pen
You’re the dream that brings the morning sadness
Start the day storm in my head

Well you’re the Oscar Wilde short stories in my bookcase
You’re positively 4th street isolated in my itunes
You’re the word in the dictionary that I can’t spell
Can’t describe, can’t put in a sentence but use all the time

Your own pair of trousers look better on me
The boots of spanish leather at the bottom of the sea
Every symbol of love that doesn’t relate to a meaning
Every feeling, every sensation only real when I’m dreaming

I will keep on loving ‘cos I believe in love
I don’t mind dying if you follow me up
Your victory’s your defeat your head above your heart
Only the brave surrender death cannot tear us apart

Wild horses in the wilderness will know no journey home
Well my love is locked in chains the lion walks alone

Well the lion walks alone nature is cruel
But he knows it’s his home
He to his demons and you to your own
Please let me stand by you and we’ll conquer them all

Oh I will conquer them all (x3)

Well, I’m going to stay by you
You’re going to stay by me
We ain’t going to need to spell out no D-I-V-O-R-C-E
We ain’t like Tammy and George
We don’t sing them tunes
You and me we’re going to be more like Johnny and June

Johnny tell it like it is even when he lied
June had the courage to look the devil in the eye and say I love you
And maybe I speak too soon
But honey, I think I love you like Johnny he loved June

​Well, I’m going to stay by you
You’re going to stay by me
We ain’t going to need to spell out no D-I-V-O-R-C-E
We ain’t like Tammy and George
We don’t sing them tunes
You and me we’re going to be more like Johnny and June

Well, June she told Johnny “Love is a burning thing”
Baby, I’m on fire and I’m going to buy you a nine dollar ring
But you burned me bad in the third degree
Like Johnny he burned June that’s how you burned me

​Well, I’m going to stay by you
You’re going to stay by me
We ain’t going to need to spell out no D-I-V-O-R-C-E
We ain’t like Tammy and George
We don’t sing them tunes
You and me we’re going to be more like Johnny and June

You were, too much
And all at once, you were, just enough
You’re just right, you’re the perfect temp
You’re my coffee cup when I’ve over slept
You are, complete
You’re my final cord in my even beat
You’re the perfect rhyme, in the perfect time
So please can I, make you mine

Don’t wanna make you, just wanna tell you, I like you
Bells keep ringing
Don’t wanna get by, Can’t keep it inside, I like you
My heart keeps singing

You are, the best
The battery poundin’ in my chest
If we’re playing space and we have to dock
You will be my Kirk and I will be your Spock
You’re the, Bee’s knees
The sunny day in a cool breeze
You’re the night time drive in my favorite tee
Please will you marry me?

Don’t wanna make you, just wanna tell you, I like you
Bells keep ringing
Don’t wanna get by, Can’t keep it inside, I like you
My heart keeps singing

I think you are perfect even though you don’t agree
Maybe cause you’re lookin’, You will see what you will see
Baby If you’re lookin’, grow old with me

I wanna know, what it is to, tell you I like you all the time
I wanna know, how it feels to, have our fingers intertwined

​Don’t wanna make you, just wanna tell you, I like you
Bells keep ringing
Don’t wanna get by, Can’t keep it inside, I like you
My heart keeps singing

You hit me once I hit you back
You gave a kick I gave a slap
You smashed a plate over my head
Then I set fire to our bed, oh

My black eye casts no shadow, your red eye sees nothing
Your slap don’t stick, your kicks don’t hit
So we remain the same

Love sticks
Sweat drips
Break the lock if it don’t fit

A kick to the teeth is good for some
A kiss with a fist is better then none

I broke your jaw once before
I spilled your blood upon the floor
You broke my leg in return
So sit back and watch the bed burn
​
Love sticks
Sweat drips
Break the lock if it don’t fit

A kick in the teeth is good for some
A kiss with a fist is better then none

I want love to, roll me over slowly
Stick a knife inside me, and twist it all around.
I want love to, grab my fingers gently
Slam them in a doorway, put my face into the ground.

I want love to, murder my own mother and
Take her off to somewhere like hell or up above.
I want love to change my friends to enemies,
Change my friends to enemies and show me how it’s all my fault.

I won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
I won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
Yeah I won’t let love disrupt, corrupt, or interrupt me anymore.

I want love to, walk right up and bite me
Grab a hold of me and fight me leave me dying on the ground.
And I want love to, split my mouth wide open and
Cover up my ears and never let me hear a sound.

I want love to, forget that you offended me
Or how you have defended me when everybody tore me down.
Yeah I want love to change my friends to enemies,
Change my friends to enemies and show me how it’s all my fault.

Yeah I wont let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
I won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
I won’t let love disrupt, corrupt, or interrupt me anymore.

​It makes you blind, it does you in
It makes you think you’re pretty tough
It makes you prone to crime and sin
It makes you say things off the cuff

It’s very small and made of glass
And grossly over-advertised
It turns a genius into an ass
And makes a fool think he is wise

It could make you regret your birth
Or turn cartwheels in your best suit
It costs a lot more than it’s worth
And yet there is no substitute

They keep it on a higher shelf
The older and more pure it grows
It has no color in itself
But it can make you see rainbows

You can find it on the Bowery
Or you can find it at Elaine’s
It makes your words more flowery
It makes the sun shine, makes it rain
​
You just get out what they put in
And they never put in enough
Love is like a bottle of gin
But a bottle of gin is not like love

King Saul fell on his sword when it all went wrong
And Joseph’s brothers sold him down the river for a song
And Sonny Liston rubbed some tiger balm into his glove
Some things you do for money
And some you do for love, love, love

Raskolnikov felt sick, but he couldn’t say why
When he saw his face reflected in his victim’s twinkling eye
Some things you’ll do for money and some you’ll do for fun
But the things you do for love
Are going to come back to you one by one

Love, love is going to lead you by the hand
Into a white and soundless place
Now we see things as in a mirror dimly
Then we shall see each other face to face
​
And way out in Seattle, young Kurt Cobain
Snuck out to the greenhouse, put a bullet in his brain
Snakes in the grass beneath our feet, rain in the clouds above
Some moments last forever
But some flare out with love, love, love

You wanna know if I know why
I can’t say that I do
Don’t understand the you or I
Or how one becomes two
I just can’t recall what started it off
Or how to begin again
I ain’t here to break ya
Just see how far it will bend
Again and again, again and again

I wanna make it
I wanna make it wit’ chu
Anytime, anywhere
I wanna make it
(Again and again)
I wanna make it wit’ chu

Sometimes the same is different
But mostly it’s the same
These mysteries of life
That just ain’t my thing
If I told you that I knew about the sun and the moon, I’d be untrue
The only thing I know for sure
Is what I won’t do
Anytime, anywhere, and I said

I wanna make it
I wanna make it wit’ chu
Anytime, anywhere
I wanna make it
(Again and again)
I wanna make it wit’ chu

Well, since time I had a mind, I been lazy
And times before that I was cruel
And times before that I was lean, I was mad
Honey, I ain’t never had nobody like you

And the times before that, well, I was crazy
I saw the dark side of the moon
And the stars in the sky, they never caught my eye
‘Cause I ain’t never had nobody like you
I ain’t never had nobody like you

Now it’s just like ABC
Life’s just like 123
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Ah oh

I watched my own habits die and its painful
sometimes its painful in the light of the truth
but you can be faster than light
I’d like to thank you tonight
Honey, I ain’t never had nobody like you
I ain’t never had nobody like you

And it’s just like ABC
Life’s just like 123
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Ah oh

I trusted liars and thieves in my madness
Honey I was wasting away in the room
But now that I been through that hell I got a story to tell
Honey, I ain’t never had nobody like you
I ain’t I never had nobody like you
I ain’t never had nobody like you

Run from me, darlin
Run, my good wife
Run from me, darlin
You better run for your life

Run from me, baby
Run, my good wife
Run from me, baby
You better run for your life

Each time I see you
I contemplate
What I love most of all
Your swinging gait

Run from me, darlin
Run, my good wife
Run from me, darlin
You better run for your life

​Run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run

Come with me
My love
To the sea
The sea of love

I wanna tell you
How much
I love you

Do you remember
When we met
That’s the day
I knew you were my pet

I wanna tell you
How much
I love you

Come with me
My love
To the sea
The sea of love

I wanna tell you
How much
I love you

​Always had a roof above me
Always paid the rent
But I’ve never set foot inside a tent
Can’t build a fire to save my life
I lied about being the outdoor type

I’ve never slept out underneath the stars,
The closest that I came to that was one time my car
Broke down for an hour in the suburbs at night
I lied about being the outdoor type.

Too scared to let you know you knew what you were looking for
I lied until I fit the bill god bless the great indoors
I lied about being the outdoor type
I’ve never owned a sleeping bag let alone a mountain bike

I can’t go away with you on a rock climbing weekend
What if somethings on tv and its never shown again
Its just as well I’m not invited I’m afraid of heights
I lied about being the outdoor type

Never learned to swim can’t grow a beard or even fight
I lied about being the outdoor type

​The sun, the sun goes over the sea
I hear her talk in her sleep
Bags of sand and bones
Follow us back home
Feet step through the door

I guess, I guess that’s always the case
Life in some far away place
She is bound to call, one of us to shore
Freedom at its core

And our lives will be in our hands, in our hands
In our hands, in our hands

I really think I better get a hold of myself
Don’t wanna let the night get ahead of myself
Whisperin’ her love through a smoke ring smile
She doesn’t know what happens when she’s around

I think I’m in love but it makes me kinda nervous to say so
I think I’m in love but it makes me kinda nervous to say so

Probably lay my head on a wooden floor
Tell her I was tired from working the store
Counting all the cash from an old shoe box
Saving up to buy her something she wants

I think I’m in love but it makes me kinda nervous to say so
I think I’m in love but it makes me kinda nervous to say so

What if it’s wrong?
What if it’s wrong
To pray in vain?
What does it mean
To fake your death
To wake up tainted?
Take a little picture in a photo booth
Keep it in a locket, and I think of you
Both of our pictures, face to face
Take off your necklace and throw it away

I think I’m in love but it makes me kinda nervous to say so
I think I’m in love but it makes me kinda nervous to say so

​Really think I better get a hold of myself
Don’t wanna let the night get ahead of myself
Whisperin’ her love through a smoke ring smile
She doesn’t know what happens when she’s around

Fall is here, hear the yell
Back to school, ring the bell
Brand new shoes, walking blues
Climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we are going to be friends
I can tell that we are going to be friends

Walk with me, Suzy Lee
Through the park and by the tree
We will rest upon the ground
And look at all the bugs we found
Safely walk to school without a sound
Safely walk to school without a sound

Here we are, no one else
We walked to school all by ourselves
There’s dirt on our uniforms
From chasing all the ants and worms
We clean up and now its time to learn
We clean up and now its time to learn

Numbers, letters, learn to spell
Nouns, and books, and show and tell
Playtime we will throw the ball
Back to class, through the hall
Teacher marks our height against the wall
Teacher marks our height against the wall

We don’t notice any time pass
We don’t notice anything
We sit side by side in every class
Teacher thinks that I sound funny
But she likes the way you sing

​Tonight I’ll dream while in my bed
When silly thoughts go through my head
About the bugs and alphabet
And when I wake tomorrow I’ll bet
That you and I will walk together again
I can tell that we are going to be friends
I can tell that we are going to be friends

Since I still appreciate you
Let’s find love while we may
Because I know I’ll hate you
When you are old and grey

So say you love me here and now
I’ll make the most of that
Say you love and trust me
For I know you’ll disgust me
When you’re old and getting fat

An awful debility
A lessened utility
A loss of mobility
Is a strong possibility
In all probability
I’ll lose my virility
And you your fertility
And desirability
And this liability
Of total sterility
Will leed to hostility
And a sense of.. futility
So let’s act with agility
While we still have facility
For we’ll soon reach senility
And lose the ability

Your teeth will start to go dear
Your waist will start to spread
In twenty years or so dear
I’ll wish that you were dead

I’ll never love you then at all
The way I do today
So please remember
When I leave in December
I told you so in May
