Love Me Later

You say I'm rough around the edges Too many dreams, not enough fences Old truck, small town, paycheck, life Big talk, small kitchen, and a heart that tries You roll your eyes at my crazy plans My late night songs and my busted hands You won't stay, I'm still climbing there But I swear one day your love is wear and tear I ain't perfect, but I'm changing fast. Working on my future, learning from my past. So if you don't love me now, that's all right. Give me a minute, give me some time. Let me grow into the man I'm chasing. Baby, stick around It only gets better I may not be your dream today But later, you'll look back and laugh and say Damn, I love him now I should've loved him later I'm learning how to show up early Save a little more, spend a little worldly Saying yes ma'am, to your mom and dad Hold my tongue when I'm feeling mad I'm putting down pride, picking up grace Trying to be a safe kind of place From barstool nights to front porch days From talking big to walking late I know I'm still a diamond in the dust Our neighbor's how I almost miss my greatest favor So if you don't love me now, that's alright We're just halfway up this climb Let me grow into the man I'm chasing Hand in hand with the heart I'm facing If you can see a little bit of always in my later Hold on through the thunder Dance through the changes I may not be your dream I love you then, but oh my God, I love you so much better later If you don't love a man less, honey, just give me time
