Lyrics:
I was with her we were talking over dinner just the other night
When had quite the fight, me and my lovely wife
Arguing over position neither one of us would listen to the other side
A gross display of pride about who was wrong or right
But now it all seems silly
When we know what’s important really
It’s okay, it’s alright if I don’t get my way tonight
Just as long as I’m right with you
I was standing looking out across the canyon between You and I
A million miles too wide for me to reach the other side
In deep depression broken over my rejection I failed to realize
To my great surprise, You’d paved a way with Your own life
I accept the invitation
To become Your new creation
It’s okay, it’s alright if I don’t get my way tonight
Just as long as I’m right with You
Either way we’ll be fine if we leave this pride behind
Just as long as I’m right with You
(Mike Weaver, Andy Gullahorn, Jay Weaver)
Behind the Song:
“When my wife, Kandice, heard the first verse she said, “Steven Curtis Chapman can release an entire record of love songs for his wife, but the first time you mention me in a song, it’s about us arguing?” What can I say? Sorry, babe.
This song is all about relationships when things aren’t quite right. You don’t always get to be right, but that’s okay. It’s not about who is right; it is about what is right. What is paramount in marriage is being right with one another. Some of the musical ideas of this song came from time spent with my friend Andy Gullahorn who, to this day, remains one of my songwriting heroes.” – Mike Weaver (Big Daddy Weave)
