Under Oath

from In the Loudest Way by Tyler Stenson

about

A song about a feeling as old as the moon and as true as true can get.

lyrics

What do you call something new
That has always been there?
A feeling as old as the moon
Though a first-time affair?
What do you call what your bones
Already know inside?
An indisputable fact
In a world of lies?
The word I would choose is true.

So, tell me, do you love me true,
The whole true and nothing but the true?
Tell me, do you love me true
Like I do you?
Please say, I do.

I will admit under oath: I’m complicit in this.
And now that I know what I know,
There is some nervousness.
And the feeling is one where I fear my end is near
For I got caught up in something
So perfectly lovely and dear
It’s gotta be all downhill from here.

So, tell me, do you love me true,
The whole true and nothing but the true?
Tell me, do you love me true
Like I do you?
Please say, I do.

Sure by now I’ve pled my part.
Sure by now it’s starting to mean something to you.

So, tell me, do you love me true,
The whole true and nothing but the true?
Tell me, do you love me true
Like I do you?
Please say, I do.
