[Verse 1] We took the lane by the water Your hand fit mine like it knew Old stone walls and a dark green bottle A little church bell calling through You laughed at the way I stared Like I’d lost my sense and keys But I was counting every second While the boats rolled past our knees [Pre-Chorus] I had a ring in my pocket And a storm in my chest If I wait much longer, baby I’m gonna talk myself to death [Chorus] Marry me in Venice Say my name and stay Marry me in Venice Let the whole world fade away You and me, forever On this water, come what may Marry me in Venice Baby, take my hand today [Verse 2] The driver smiled, kept rowing Like he knew before I did You were looking at the skyline Then the truth slipped from my lips I said I’m done pretending I want your last name too And your eyes went bright as sunrise Like the sky had split in two [Pre-Chorus] I dropped down on that landing Heart rattling in my vest You covered up your teary smile And said I already knew the rest [Chorus] Marry me in Venice Say my name and stay Marry me in Venice Let the whole world fade away You and me, forever On this water, come what may Marry me in Venice Baby, take my hand today [Bridge] So here’s to the way you said yes With your shaking little grin And the moon on every ripple And the ring fit like a hymn If love had a home somewhere It’s where your arms pulled me in Now I’m calling you my always And I’d do it all again [Chorus] Marry me in Venice Say my name and stay Marry me in Venice Let the whole world fade away You and me, forever On this water, come what may Marry me in Venice Baby, take my hand today
