Wedding Song
The Honeycutters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was broken clear in two.
My heart was split wide open,
Tired of hoping tried of playing the fool.
But you did what I thought nobody could do.
Yeah, you pieced me back together
Kissed the hurting parts
Made me new.
Now you ask for nothing more
Than to be by my side,
Well you say it like you say it,
Yeah you smile,
Makes it easy to oblige.
I know I never been the lucky kind -
Aw, but when you're with me honey,
It's like money, like I'm throwing loaded dice.
When I think of all the messes I've been in,
All the flirting and the hurting that I thought would never end,
Oh I've seen hard times, and all that matters now,
Is I'd do it, yeah, I'd do it all again
If you were holding my hand,
If you were holding my hand.
Let's go to Rome, let's go to Paris,
Let's go dancing, let's go fishing,
I don't care.
'Cause there's only just one place that I call home
And it's my home because you're there.
Oh my darling, Oh my darling,
You're so sweet. It really just ain't fair.
You're my T-shirt, you're my blue jeans,
You're a cold beer, you're my favorite easy chair.
When I think of all the messes I've been in,
All the flirting and the hurting
That I thought would never end,
I seen hard times and all that matters now
Is I'd do it, yeah, I'd do it all again,
If you were holding my hand,
If you were holding my hand.
The Honeycutters' "Wedding Song" is a love song that beautifully depicts the moment when one person finds the one who completes them. The first verse reveals the state of the singer's heart before the arrival of the love of their life. They were broken and tired of hoping and playing the fool in love. However, the second line shows that the partner entered the singer's life and pieced them back together, kissing the hurting parts and making them new. The partner revitalized every broken part of the singer and made them a new person, and now they are inseparable.
The chorus talks about how lucky the singer feels to have found their partner. They never believed they were the lucky kind, but with the love of their life by their side, they feel like they are throwing loaded dice, confident that they will always come out on top. The second verse emphasizes that the singer has been in difficult relationships before, but everything they went through was worth it if their partner held their hand and was by their side. The bridge lists some activities that the singer and their partner could do together, but in the end, they agree that the only place that they call home is each other.

When you found me
When we met
I was broken clear in two.
I was emotionally damaged
My heart was split wide open,
I was very vulnerable
Tired of hoping tried of playing the fool.
I was tired of being hurt and disappointed
But you did what I thought nobody could do.
You helped me heal and become whole again
Yeah, you pieced me back together
You made me feel complete
Kissed the hurting parts
You showed me love and compassion
Made me new.
You helped me start fresh and move on
Now you ask for nothing more
You don't require anything else
Than to be by my side,
Other than my company
Well you say it like you say it,
You state it casually
Yeah you smile,
You seem content
Makes it easy to oblige.
It's easy for me to agree
I know I never been the lucky kind -
I haven't had the best fortune
Aw, but when you're with me honey,
However, when I'm with you
It's like money, like I'm throwing loaded dice.
I feel lucky and happy
When I think of all the messes I've been in,
When I remember my past mistakes
All the flirting and the hurting that I thought would never end,
All the times I suffered heartbreak and pain
Oh I've seen hard times, and all that matters now,
I've been through difficult situations, but now what's important
Is I'd do it, yeah, I'd do it all again
Is that I would go through all of it again
If you were holding my hand,
As long as you were with me
Let's go to Rome, let's go to Paris,
Let's go on adventures together
Let's go dancing, let's go fishing,
Let's do things we both enjoy
I don't care.
I'm not picky
'Cause there's only just one place that I call home
Because to me, home is wherever you are
And it's my home because you're there.
You make wherever we are feel like home
Oh my darling, Oh my darling,
My dear, my love
You're so sweet. It really just ain't fair.
You're so kind and wonderful, it's almost unfair
You're my T-shirt, you're my blue jeans,
You're my comfortable clothing
You're a cold beer, you're my favorite easy chair.
You're my go-to comfort and relaxation
I seen hard times and all that matters now
I've been through tough times, but what's important now
Is I'd do it, yeah, I'd do it all again,
Is that I'd go through it all again
If you were holding my hand,
As long as you were there to support me
