From the recordings To the Girl and To the Girl
The cadence of Pretty Sure started me down the road of this on-the-cusp love song. I wanted the chorus to open up like the vast ocean. “I’m pretty sure you’ll fill me with delight.”
Lyrics
I’m pretty sure you take the cake
I’m pretty sure I know this ache
I’m pretty sure the moon calls to the sun
I’m pretty sure you’d like my dog
And this mini, music monologue
I’m pretty sure by now you are the one
I’m pretty sure you’d take my hand
I’m pretty sure this wasn’t planned
I’m pretty sure this day turns into night
I’m pretty sure you see my scars
You know I have a baggage car
I’m pretty sure you’d fill me with delight
Like the ocean wave meets the shore
Pretty soon you will be at my door
I’m pretty sure you’ll walk with me
Despite a finite guarantee
I’m pretty sure the earth keeps going round
I’m pretty sure you’d wear my hat
I think I’ve got a welcome mat
I’m pretty sure it’s too late to turn around
Like the ocean wave meets the shore
Pretty soon you will be at my door
I’m pretty sure you take the cake
I’m pretty sure I know this ache
I’m pretty sure the moon calls to the sun
I’m pretty sure you’d like my dog
And this mini, music monologue
I’m pretty sure by now you are the one
I’m pretty sure you’ll walk with me
Despite a finite guarantee
I’m pretty sure the earth keeps going round
I’m pretty sure you’d wear my hat
I’m know I’ve got a welcome mat
I’m pretty sure it’s too late to turn around
Like the ocean wave meets the shore
Pretty soon you will be at my door
I’m pretty sure you’ll see my scars
And join me in my baggage car
I’m pretty sure you’ll fill me with delight
I’m pretty sure…..I’ve got this right
