Intro

Remember how you used to ask if I’d ever write a song for you, and I’d always say no? Well this one just kind of wrote itself. Look

Chorus

It wouldn’t be long before my heart would be forever locked away

And I felt like the clock was racing. That tick-tock had got me anxious

Picking this lock takes concentration, not to mention lots of patience

She found out the combination, instead

She kicked the door down anyway

Anyway

She kicked the door down anyway

She found out the combination, instead she kicked the door down anyway

Her aura is one that serenades

Calming the storm I’ve been guarding behind a pair of shades

Watching in awe as she charges through all my barricades

Washing all my cares away. I call that a fair exchange

Our affair remains fine as an aged wine

And I heard it through the grapevine: they say great minds

Tend to think alike. Coincidentally, at the same time

I wanted to give her the world, and she became mine

Not just significant other she’s my entire significance

Whenever we’re together, there’s nothing we can’t defend against

The one who’s on my mind any time I sit back and reminisce

The one who always finishes all of my sentences

The one who makes me feel like my super powers are limitless

The one I hope I get to spend the rest of my existence with

I get the sense, all things considered, she’ll share my sentiment

So I can mention this in front of all these witnesses

Chorus

I’ve locked away a couple demons I don’t want her to see

I know they say nobody’s perfect but she’s closer than me

And I know all she really wants is for my soul to be free

And even though she’s holding the key

She wanted to pull the bars out anyway

Anyway

She pulled the bars out anyway

Even though she's holding the key, she wanted to pull the bars out anyway

And I told her this all before we tried

There’s a strong connection, but something more, I’m not sure we’ll find

Time is of the essence, and I don’t want to waste yours or mine

I’d given up the search. I was borderline getting bored and tired

She saw through it all like a poor disguise in the shortest time

I was mortified. I felt like a mortar fired

I thought I was fortified. I thought I had everything locked away like a fort inside. I thought I was more organized

But looking back, I overestimated my storage size

Obvious to some but I tried to ignore the warning signs

Always felt like “happily ever after” was glorified

But now I see it for myself, and I’ve never felt more inspired

She’s my motivation to spread my wings and explore the skies

'Cuz I know she’ll be there to embrace the lows and support the highs

So far I’ve enjoyed the ride, my gorgeous bride

I’m overjoyed we decided to join our lives

Chorus

And it sounds so absurd, but it’s a love I feel I don’t deserve

She wanted every piece revealed, meaning leaving no stone unturned

I gave her a peek like a speak easy, leaking secrets no one’s heard

Yea she knows the coded words, but still

She tore the walls down anyway

Anyway

She tore the walls down anyway

(Yea) Yea she knows the coded words, but still she tore the walls down anyway
