Musically speaking, this song isn't my favorite. But lyrically, I can definitely relate. So I like the words but I think the tune is going to have to grow on me... I think I prefer Tall Tales.

I've tried to figure out the lyrics from what we have so far  =)
I'm sorry in advance if I made any mistakes!

I Don't Want To Be a Bride

I like your company, gotta new philosophy.
Never knew such a gentleman.
You could take me on a cheap vacation, I don't wanna have
expectations. Cause you could be the end of me
And I don't need a house on a hill, a swing on a tree, a grandfather clock,
porcelain for tea. A garden with rose and jasmine.
I wanna get drunk on a bottle of wine. No better way to pass the time. Forever by your side.
I don't wanna be a bride. Apologies to your mother, but I
could be your girl and share this life with you. But I don't
wanna wear white, but you know it's too late for that. But
can't we keep the ever after, or could it be.
Don't need no golden ring.
It'd be no match for the love you'd bring,
from London to Tennessee.
We could catch a train to another life
on a wing under the moonlight,
I promise you. And will you promise me?
Our last names on a wooden sign,
arm in arm where the river starts to wind.
Forever by your side.
I don't wanna be a bride. Apologies to each other, but I
could be your girl and share this life with you. But I don't
wanna wear white, but you know it's too late for that. But
can't we keep the ever after, or could it be. Just you and me.
Ah, we will live like kings under lavender, skies
Skies; we will live like kings under lavender, skies.
Skies. We will build a poem we kept a rhyme. wrapped our love in golden twine
We wrote, we wrote a legacy. Just you and me.
Just like kings under lavender skies, skies we will live.

musically it's rather simplistic. also a pretty typical guitar ballad (v, where's the piano? gone for at least half the song, i think.) but it's pretty enough. and the lyrics are gorgeous and so sentimental and romantic for a song swearing off ever being a bride. i can so see v writing this on some late afternoon in the english countryside, with her hobbits and meadows and all.

I totally agree. This has really put me back into "nessaholic mode" and excited for her new album.

The lyrics are just so heartbreakingly (is that a word?) gorgeous. I agree, when I first heard the title I wasn't imagining such a beautifully romantic song. It was a pleasant surprise.

Has anyone else noticed that she's premiered two songs in the past week? I think the album's coming out soon.

Do you guys think that this might be the song she had said she wrote on guitar?

Yeah, that's what I remembered as soon as I saw that guitar on stage!

Well, I really like it and I feel that it's a 4th album version of "Pretty Baby", they have the same style. And yet, for some reason, it reminds me a lot of "Best Behaviour". How I wish we had a studio version for this one :(

dear v, this pianist has just borrowed her brother's guitar and learned those four chords so she could cover your new song. she has never even held a guitar before.

only v drives me to learn new instruments! and you guys, i never even thought about that. i didn't connect simple guitar song = the song she mentioned. very cool
