about

The Pact is the most romantic song I’ve written about marriage pacts. I guess that’s pretty self-explanatory.

lyrics

I know that some birds are not meant to be caged
and you wear that fact on your sleeve
But maybe someday you will settle for me
And we’ll make each other believe

I’ll make you a promise -
An unbreakable pact
It’s you and me, baby
That’s an undeniable fact

I know you’ll grow up someday, maybe grow old
But above all you’ll grow more wise
And then you will see that while some things don’t last
You’ve always been perfect in my eyes

I’ll make you a promise -
An unbreakable pact
It’s you and me, baby
That’s an undeniable fact

I knew the day I met you
You’d make a great plan B
And as soon as I turn forty
You’ll be the only one for me

I know that some birds are not meant to be caged
But what if that bird was me?
And you promised me freedom, you promised me love,
But the cage is all I can see

I’ll make you a promise -
An unbreakable pact
It’s you and me, baby
That’s an undeniable fact
