I Belong to You Lyrics[Verse 1]If I could be honest, here in this momentI've been so nervous to stand here with youThey're all here for us and I feel their auraBut just for a moment I'll pretend it's just you[Pre-Chorus]Yes they can hear us, but they don't understandI have said all of my vows behind the curtainsI know they see us, but they don't stand a chanceI have kissed those lips a thousand times before this[Chorus]Tomorrow I'll open my eyesAnd I will whisper to my wife"I belong to you"And I will wait to hear you sayAs a tear rolls down your face"I belong to you"[Verse 2]If I could be honest, here at the altarI refuse to grow older unless it's with youI fell in love and made you a promiseThough I'd never noticed how much it meant to you[Pre-Chorus]Yes they can hear us, but they misunderstandThere is more behind these words that we have spokenI know they see us, but only at a glanceOnly you know the man that I am beyond the surface[Chorus]Tomorrow I'll open my eyesAnd I will whisper to my wife"I belong to you"And I will wait to hear you sayAs a tear rolls down your face"I belong to you"[Bridge]I belong with youWhen they let us chooseI will say I doI belong with youWhen they let us chooseI will say I do[Chorus]Tomorrow I'll open my eyesAnd I will whisper to my wife"I belong to you"And I will wait to hear you sayAs a tear rolls down your face"I belong to you"How to Format Lyrics:Type out all lyrics, even if it’s a chorus that’s repeated throughout the songThe Section Header button breaks up song sections.

It’s a narration of a couple’s experience while getting married, as told from the man’s perspective. This song is dedicated to Jacob’s brother, Luke and his wife, us a question about this songWhat have the artists said about the song? This song holds a special place for me. I wrote ‘I Belong to You’ early afternoon, out the back of my home, sitting on an uncomfortable chair just two weeks before my brother’s wedding day… My mother had asked me countless times during the months prior to try and create something personal for Luke and Eva’s wedding, and though I tried, nothing really came to me until the week before. I found that I was constantly coming up with clichés and forced metaphors in my search for a song I considered worthy for such a special occasion, and it wasn’t until that afternoon where it all just seemed to flow. It’s somewhat difficult to convey the true meaning of this song without writing paragraph upon paragraph, but in short, my brother has always been quite the shy individual, he’s never been one to open up to a large amount of people. Throughout his youth it seemed that it was only my parents and I who truly saw him for who he is, until Eva, his wife, literally looked beyond the surface, seeing what others never took the time to notice, and they’ve now been together for over 7 years, married November 18th, 2017. One piece of information you must know to truly empathise with this song is that I wrote it completely from Luke’s perspective, talking to his wife at the altar as though no one else is there. I tried my best to capture his emotions before they even happened and as the best man, I think I nailed it. — Jacob Lee via Atwood MagazineWhat inspired the interpretation or view of love in this song?The first half of this was somewhat answered earlier, however, I’m of the belief that many other love songs just try too hard. There is a subtle honesty in love that is rarely spoken: A sentimental feeling of comfort, pride, fulfilment, security, and support. If an artist can uncover a way to actually articulate those emotions, the result ends up extremely relatable and emotional. I may be biased, but I think I Belong to You, With You, Secrets & Chariot all have that quality… — Jacob Lee via Atwood MagazineCreditsRelease DateJune 19, 2018I Belong to You Live PerformancesTags
