about

A joyous song about laying it all before the ruler of your heart.

Not like a measuring ruler, more like an emperor/empress type ruler. The first one would just be morbid, but this isn't - it's uplifting and happy.

lyrics

Take a moment and sit with me
Underneath the laurel tree
It’s been so long we need to speak
My multiple personalities
All trying to get the best of me, oh oh.

I’ve laid all I have there at your feet
And I know it makes a meagre heap
Of things that you don’t want to keep
But they’re tied up with the rest of me, oh oh.

I guess all that I’m trying to say
Is won’t you be my every day?

I know violets don’t have much to say
But they up and told me anyway
When they grow and when they bloom
Their colours shine just for you, oh oh

Our home will be your sanctuary
But if you ever have the need
I’ll tell the moths that we need aid
And eagles will be on their way, oh oh

I guess all that I’m trying to say
Is won’t you be my every day?

Some things never fade with time
Sun will rise, gold will shine
Empress of my heart is you
Ruled by love and ever true
Empress of my heart is you
Ruled by love and ever true

I guess all that I’m trying to say
Is won’t you be my every day?
I guess all that I’m trying to say
Is won’t you be my every day?
