I been simmering down for a while now
but settle down? love, that aint quite me
let them go on and chase their namesake
while each night I take you home with me
I'll be your cornerstone, they never gonna break me
I'll take the best they give just like my mama raised me
I'll turn my cheek, but keep you right behind me safely
and whisper of tomorrow, til' we can see it plainly... c'mon
You are my means to the end
I been simmering down for a while now
I come round slow, yea, but certainly
let them go on and chase their namesake
while each night I take you home with me
I'll be your cornerstone, they never gonna break me
I'll take the best they give just like my mama raised me
I'll turn my cheek, but keep you right behind me safely
and whisper of tomorrow, til' we can see it plainly... c'mon
You are my means to the end
Something so sweet, it makes me wanna barter
a bachelor's levity for the shoulders of a father
So sir i ask you for the good hand of your daughter
I'll be her cornerstone if you'll allow the honor
Something so sweet it makes me wanna barter
my bacherlor's levity for the shoulders of your father
So girl I ask you, will you meet me at the alter?
I'll be your cornerstone if you'll allow the honor
My Megan Leigh, will you marry me?
I've been simmering down for a while now
today i stand steadfast and free
let them go on and chase their namesake
while each night I take you home with me
I'll be your cornerstone, they never gonna break me
I'll take the best they give just like my mama raised me
I'll turn my cheek, but keep you right behind me safely
and whisper of tomorrow, til' we can see it plainly... c'mon
You are my means to the end
