Inspire Me Lyrics

It's puzzling

I've got a way with words

I write so many songs

But when it comes to you (Oh, when it comes to you)

We've been together long enough that every noun and every verb

It probably sounds

Like something you've already heard (You've already heard)

And if the pen is mightier like they say than the sword

Then you can see through all my instruments of war (Instruments of war)

It makes me speak a little less

And write about so many subjects

I guess that you begin to suspect

That I want something more

What would I do that for

But I just need you to know

That even as we grow, old

You still inspire me

And if I'm honest, truth be told

I want to impress you the most

And that terrifies me

I wonder why the stories closest to me are the hardest to tell

What does that say about me (Yeah)

That I could write about a stranger all day

And write a character into a play

Hey

Guess I prefer that way (Maybe I do, maybe I do, oh)

Cause when I lay your name down on the page

Suddenly feels like there's just too much at stake (With me you've lived it all)

Because with me you've lived it all

And you remember better than I scrawl

So what am I to write you won't recall

Yo go on shake that magic eight ball

And I bet it'll say

That I just need you to know

That even as we grow, old

You still inspire me

And if I'm honest, I might say

It's not that my affections changed

It's simple that you're my everything

Boo, you are the feather in my quill

The motion in my still

The "U" in my vocabulary

Will every song I write address it plainly?

I know they haven't lately

But even when these lyrics turn 80

You'll be hidden faintly in the cracks

Cause you're my foundation

Even when it lacks in presentation

Your name's somewhere in my interpretation

And I know when the mic drops

Time stops

You're the one I'm coming home to

Stability is what I have with you

And knowing that my home is safe I'm able

To conquer more than just a pad of paper

I can take the world and make it greater

I guess that that makes you a world changer

But I just need you to know

That even as we grow, old

You still inspire me (You still inspire me)

And when our kids have all but grown

And moved out on their own, oh

You'll still inspire me (You'll still inspire me, yeah)

And when our lives are written on a stone

And Heaven is our home (Heaven is our home)

You'll still inspire me (You still inspire me, oh)

And when you doubt it

Think about this song

Remember all along (Remember all along)

How you've inspired me (Inspired me)

Daddy loves you, Mom
