The sirens started early
Before the morning news
Another town is burning
Another line to choose
But the coffee’s on the counter
And the sunlight fills the room
Down the quiet hallway
Someone whispers, “I love you”
We still say I do
Even when the sky turns black and blue
When everything else feels untrue (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Somehow we still say I do (ooh, ooh, ooh, pph)
We still say I do (it's true)
We still say I do (you know it's true)
We still say I do (yes, it's true)
I do
The headlines keep on shouting
About the borders we cross
But no one writes the stories
Of the quiet things we lost
Little acts of courage
Are what we’re living on
A hand across the table
A kiss before the dawn
Maybe love’s the last light
Still burning in the dark
A stubborn little heartbeat
Inside a broken heart
We still say I do
Even when the sky turns black and blue
When everything else feels untrue (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Somehow we still say I do (ooh, ooh, ooh, pph)
We still say I do (it's true)
We still say I do (you know it's true)
We still say I do (yes, it's true)
I do
It's true
You know it's true
Yes, it's true
I do
We still say I do (it's true)
We still say I do (oh you know it's true)
We still say I do (it's true)
I do
This song is about the fact that despite a war going on, people still fall in love amidst the chaos.
