[Verse 1]
You walk in
Tie still on
Drop your keys
Shoes halfway gone
You say
“I should finish this”
I just laugh
Pull you in
[Pre-Chorus]
You give yourself to everyone all day
But here
You’re mine
You’re mine
The world can wait outside our door
Let it stand in line
[Chorus]
I choose you first
Lay with me
Let the emails ring
Let the daylight be
We can do nothing
Just breathe in slow
On your chest
I rise and fall
Don’t go
I choose you first
Every time
Doing nothing
Your hand in mine
If this is all we ever do
I’d still choose you
[Verse 2]
Your shirt’s wrinkled on my chair
Half a plan hangs in the air
You say
“We should get dressed up”
I say
“Or we could just stay stuck”
[Pre-Chorus]
You chase those little glowing screens
Till your eyes turn tired and dry
But here
You don’t have to be a hero
You can just be mine
[Chorus]
I choose you first
Lay with me
Let the deadlines fade
Let the noise just leave
We can do nothing
Just count your breaths
Tracing lazy circles on your neck
I choose you first
Every time
Doing nothing
Your hand in mine
If this is all we ever do
I’d still choose you
[Bridge]
Turn your phone face down
Let your worries drown
In the quiet of this couch
In the shelter of my mouth (mm, come here)
[Chorus]
I choose you first
Lay with me
Let the whole world knock
It won’t break in
We can do nothing
Make this our plan
Half-asleep
My fingers in your hand
I choose you first
Every time
Doing nothing
Your hand in mine
If this is all we ever do
I’ll always choose
I’ll always choose you (oh, I choose you)
