[Verse 1] I know I'm a piece of work But I wanna make it work with you Do the dishes with "Nebraska" in the background Are you listenin', are you sat down? Ankles in your lap, heart in your hand How I got you, honey, even I don't understand But I'm happy that we're here at the end of the year Under winter skies [Chorus] Oh, you and I are the last to leave the party Swayin' under halogen lights I'll take your chaos and your crooked in a heartbeat Heart beats louder, I'm gonna make you proud of me Oh, you and I are the last to leave the party [Verse 2] You're my favorite comic, my Jupiter comet People ask how long have I loved you, no comment 'Cause probably since I was seven and you were eight We didn't know each other, but baby, it was fate And now we're in a freak storm every other weekend Your friends think I'm bad news and a part of you believes them I understand, I know how lucky I am [Chorus] Oh, you and I are the last to leave the party Swayin' under halogen lights I'll take your chaos and your crooked in a heartbeat Heart beats louder, I'm gonna make you proud of me Oh, you and I are the last to leave the party [Bridge] Water rings from cheap red wine You're the only apple in my eye And my dress is from a funeral You mouthed, "Babe, you look beautiful" From across the room, grin in your eyes And I tell the group, "Look that's my guy" And I think we'll be alright, I do [Chorus] Oh, you and I are the last to leave the party I'm never gonna leave your side I'll take your chaos and your crooked in a heartbeat Heart beats louder, I'm gonna make you proud of me Oh, you and I are the last to leave the party
