Verse 1 Kitchen light and a coffee cup, your jacket on the chair Sunset sliding down the blinds, caught in your hair I’ve got a thousand little plans and a head full of noise But the loudest thing I’m holding is the simple choice Pre-Chorus All the other lines I rehearsed just fall apart somehow When the room goes quiet and it’s only us now Chorus All I want to do is tell you I love you Strip it down to the bones, honest and true No grand gesture, no fireworks to prove All I want to do is tell you I love you Verse 2 We’ve walked through small disasters and the easy, tender days Found scaffolding for courage in the ordinary ways I won’t dress it up in poems or paint it in a show I just want you to know it before the lights go Pre-Chorus If these words are simple, let them be the map we use Pointing back to the quiet where I choose you Chorus All I want to do is tell you I love you Strip it down to the bones, honest and true No grand gesture, no fireworks to prove All I want to do is tell you I love you Bridge (soft, building) I’ve held back out of caution, let the moment pass me by But there’s a pulse in the silence that can’t be denied So take my plain confession, take the way I stay I’ll carve it in the small things — in the way I say Breakdown (fingerpicked) Say it slow, say it clear, let it land where it should All that I am pointing to these two words Chorus (full) All I want to do is tell you I love you Lay it on the table, let the truth come through No grand gesture, no fireworks to prove All I want to do is tell you I love you Outro (soft, repeating) All I want to do is tell you I love you All I want to do is tell you I love you Just these words, plain and true — I love you
