THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG

Ella & Grace

Our story, our first dance

We met after missing the same bus and then let the next one go too. Our first-dance song is for two brides, two left feet and the wonderfully ordinary life we're choosing together.

Why this song was made

This wedding song is for two brides who met after missing the same bus. Their first-dance song trades perfect fairytale details for the joyful chaos of the life they actually want together.

Read the lyrics
[Verse 1] We missed the same bus Monday, stood there grumbling in the rain, You offered half your umbrella; I forgot to ask your name. We talked until another came and let it roll right through, The best delay I've ever had was standing there with you. [Chorus] There's confetti in our shoes and the whole room's singing, We've got two left feet and a new beginning. Take my hand for the messy and the marvellous years, I choose you in this music; I'll choose you when it's quiet here. [Verse 2] Your sister's got a tissue and my brother's lost his tie, The cake is slightly leaning but the laughter's rising high. We practised every movement, then forgot it at the start, So we'll sway like in our kitchen, with your palm against my heart. [Bridge] Tomorrow there'll be washing and a suitcase we must pack, A thank-you list, a missing shoe, a hired chair to take back. But tonight let's keep on dancing till the last bright song is through, Then go home with all our people cheering everything we'll do. [Chorus] There's confetti in our shoes and the whole room's singing, We've got two left feet and a new beginning. Take my hand for the messy and the marvellous years, I choose you in this music; I'll choose you when it's quiet here.
