I'm sure I say I'm sure sometimes, in common form of speech
But sureness is a standard that is often hard to reach
I sometimes make predictions 'bout the weather, you'll recall
But will not say I'm sure, because I can't be sure at all

I am not sure, for instance, where I'll live in, say, five years
If you believed I'm sure, you should be boxed around the ears
I am not sure if I should buy a camper - I won't lie
But prob'ly I will anyway, you know as well as I

I'm not sure if I'll buy a beach house, but I think that it would be fun
I'm not sure if we'll climb a mountain together, perhaps even more than one
I'm not sure I'll ever get rid of the furniture cluttering up the garage
I can visualize one day completing that task, but I'm not sure it's not a mirage

I'm not sure I understand quantum mechanics, or what that whole thing is about
I'm not sure how to go sharpening knives, but I think I can figure it out
I'm not sure how many guitars I have now, though I think it's a countable count
And I'm not sure how many computers I have, though I'm sure it's a silly amount

But there's one thing I'm sure of, of which there's no doubt
Which there's no point, just no point, to argue about
I'm as sure as the foot of a sure-footed cat
'Cause I'm sure that I'm sure, even surer than that
That wherever I go, and whatever I do
And whatever the futures that we might pass through
That there's no one I'd rather be there with than you

And whether it matters, to promise, or not
I just want you to know that I love you a lot
I think you're super special, I totally do
And as long as you'll stay with me, I'll stay with you

As to where this is leading, you'll probably guess
Is a question implicit; I hope you'll say yes
But to be just as clear as it makes sense to be
I would like to know, Vera, will you marry me?
