[Verse 1] You walk in, kick off your shoes Say you’ve had a day and then some I’m stirring up the same old news Hunger, thunder in your stomach You laugh and lean on the counter Flour on my shirt, red on my hands I say, “This might sound random But I’ve got one more plan” Pull you in, your hair in my face Heart beat drumming like a rock ’n’ roll bass Low voice humming your favorite tune You and me, baby, underneath this kitchen moon [Chorus] I know it sounds like we’re about to eat some spaghetti and meatballs But I just wanna tell you that I’m ready if your heart falls Pass the plate, pass the time, pass the fear of it all I know it sounds like we’re about to eat some spaghetti and meatballs But I’m serving up the courage just to give you my all The light in your eyes starts to glow so bright Like I’m staring at stars in the middle of the night With my hands on your waist, and your lips saying “stay” Girl, I’ll love you like this ’til we’re wrinkled and gray [Verse 2] Steam fogs up the kitchen glass Timer sings its little song You’re dancing with the wooden spoon Off-key, but I’m singing along (oh yeah) Ring hiding in the sugar jar Words stuck in my teeth You say, “Smells like something big” Girl, you have no idea what I mean I’m thinking ’bout a last name you could share with mine About little feet running through this house in time Your laugh like music when the night gets cold I’ll hold you close, be your rock, be your home The light in your eyes starts to glow so bright Like I’m staring at stars in the middle of the night [Chorus] I know it sounds like we’re about to eat some spaghetti and meatballs But I just wanna tell you that I’m ready if your heart falls Pass the plate, pass the time, pass the fear of it all I know it sounds like we’re about to eat some spaghetti and meatballs But I’m serving up the courage just to give you my all The light in your eyes starts to glow so bright Like I’m staring at stars in the middle of the night If you say “yes,” I’ll be your shelter from the storm I’ll keep you safe in these two rough and steady arms [Bridge] Maybe this is strange Sauce on the stove, lives gonna change If I spill a little, if I say it wrong Promise me you’ll stay for dessert and a song (hey!) I’ll lay my heart on this old wood table Deep, low whisper, “I’m willing and I’m able” I’m down on one knee in this apron and all Praying you catch me when I fall [Chorus] I know it sounds like we’re about to eat some spaghetti and meatballs But I just wanna tell you that I’m ready if your heart falls Pass the plate, pass the time, pass the fear of it all I know it sounds like we’re about to eat some spaghetti and meatballs But I’m serving up the courage Yeah, I’m serving up the courage Just to give you my all The light in your eyes starts to glow so bright Like I’m staring at stars in the middle of the night With this ring in my hand and your heart in my arms Girl, forever starts here in the heat of this sauce and these charms
