Jake

I kept the wishbone from our first roasted chicken

Sitting on the counter, marking off the days

And pressed inside the pages of a heavy book

Is the very first rose that you gave away

You’re funny and you’re caring, with a sexy kind of grace

Every time I look at you, I know I've found my place

Oh Jake, you pull me back from the edge of the street

Keep me safe from the traffic, make my life complete

You’re the most loyal man that I will ever know

And I love you with every being of my soul

I know you cherish your own little memory stash

Those ticket stubs saved from our very first show

And the seats from our first date at the Orioles game

Proof of how a beautiful thing can grow

You smile and call me "squirrel" when my mind starts to race

Wrap your loving arms around me, my favorite hiding space

Oh Jake, you pull me back from the edge of the street

Keep me safe from the traffic, make my life complete

You’re the most loyal man that I will ever know

And I love you with every being of my soul

It’s in the quiet moments when I’m looking back

At the paper trails and petals of the past

I see a man who's protective, steady, and true

And I know this love we're building is meant to last

Yeah Jake, you pull me back from the edge of the street

Keep me safe from the traffic, make my life complete

You’re the most loyal man that I will ever know

I love you with every being of my soul

Yeah, I love you with every being of my soul
