CALL IT COMPROMISE © Savannah Philyaw & Tolan Shaw

From the second that I saw you
Nothing seemed more right
Everything about you
Was what I always had in mind
But, love is not a movie
As we look behind the scenes
The highlight reel is nothing like
The moments in between

I don’t love your music
You don’t read the books I read
But, every petty difference
Is the reason I believe that

Chorus:
Everything that I have given up
Is pretty worthless compared to your love
Every time I’ve had to pay a price
It’s pretty worth it to make you mine
Some would say that love’s a sacrifice
But, we can call it compromise
(We can call it compromise)

I gave up lazy mornings
And I quit my messy floors
I picked up taking yoga
And I started watching sports
I’ve learned to pay attention
And I’ve learned to give you space
We listen to each other knowing
Some things never change

Well I don’t love your politics
And you won’t touch my feet
But, every petty difference
Is the reason I believe that

Chorus:
Everything that I have given up
Is pretty worthless compared to your love
Every time I’ve had to pay a price
It’s pretty worth it to make you mine
Some would say that love’s a sacrifice
But, we can call it compromise
(We can call it compromise)

We’re a work in progress
We will always have those doubts
The one thing I ain’t giving up
Is what we’ve got right now

Chorus:
Everything that I have given up
(given up)
Is pretty worthless compared to your love (next to your love)
Every time I’ve had to pay a price
(pay a price)
It’s pretty worth it to make you mine (make you mine)

[Repeat chorus]
