Back Gate

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Rosie, I still remember your back gate Fourteen years ago, a little after late You fixed my jeans with a needle and a grin Then squeezed my bum and pulled me closer in I had no map for where this road would run But you made forever feel like it had begun One ordinary moment turned into our whole life And I still thank that gate for leading me to you, my wife [Pre-Chorus] We’ve gathered days like photographs in a drawer And every year I find another reason to adore [Chorus] Rosie, you’re my best friend, my heart, my home The one true love I never want to lose or roam Fourteen years and I’m still choosing you Three years married, and my promise still rings true Through every change, through every mile You make the hard days worth the while Rosie, you’re the love of my life My forever, my beautiful wife [Verse 2] We know the little things no one else can see The tired jokes, the quiet cups of tea The way you read my face before I say a word The safest place my restless heart has ever heard We’ve had our storms, but never stood alone You turn four walls into a living home And when the world gets heavy, when the road feels long Your hand in mine reminds me we are strong [Pre-Chorus] No perfect story, just a love that stayed A thousand small decisions that we made [Chorus] Rosie, you’re my best friend, my heart, my home The one true love I never want to lose or roam Fourteen years and I’m still choosing you Three years married, and my promise still rings true Through every change, through every mile You make the hard days worth the while Rosie, you’re the love of my life My forever, my beautiful wife [Bridge] If I could go back and stand there once again I’d walk through that gate and fall for you the same I’d take your hand, I’d say the words I know Whatever life brings, I will never let you go [Final Chorus] Rosie, you’re my best friend, my heart, my home With you beside me, I will never walk alone Fourteen years and I’m still choosing you Three years married, and my promise still rings true Let the years come, let the seasons turn You’re the only fire I’ll always want to burn Rosie, you’re the love of my life My forever, my beautiful wife [Outro] From that back gate to every day ahead I’ll love you in every word I’ve said Rosie, my best friend, my heart, my home With you, I’ve found where I belong
