Verse 1

You weren’t in my plans, just a turn in the road

I was fine on my own, somewhere I could go

Kept my heart in my pocket, locked up tight

Then you walked in slow on a Tennessee night

Verse 2

I was raised on “don’t fall, just keep moving on”

Never thought I’d need what I found all along

But you fit in my life like an old front porch

Like a flame in the dark, girl, you lit that torch

Pre-Chorus

Yeah, I tried to play it like it ain’t that deep

But you got to me

Chorus (more love-driven)

Now I don’t wanna wake up if you’re not by my side

Don’t feel like myself if you’re not in my life

You’re the answer to prayers I didn’t even pray

The reason these old songs finally got something to say

Yeah, this ain’t just a feeling that’ll fade with time

Girl, this is the real thing, this heart of mine

And if forever’s a road, then I’m ready to ride

Long as you’re right here by my side

Verse 3

Every look, every laugh, every touch, every kiss

Got me thanking God for a love like this

Ain’t no running away, ain’t no second guess

Girl, you turned my “maybe” into “I confess”

Pre-Chorus

I was halfway gone, you made me stay

And I thank you every day

Chorus

Now I don’t wanna wake up if you’re not by my side

Don’t feel like myself if you’re not in my life

You’re the answer to prayers I didn’t even pray

The reason these old songs finally got something to say

Yeah, this ain’t just a feeling that’ll fade with time

Girl, this is the real thing, this heart of mine

And if forever’s a road, then I’m ready to ride

Long as you’re right here by my side

Bridge (slow, emotional)

I didn’t believe in a love that stays

Till you walked in and changed my ways

Now every mile, every turn I take

Leads right back to you, no matter the place

Final Chorus (lift it up)

I don’t wanna wake up if you’re not by my side

You’re the best thing I’ve found in this life

Yeah, you’re every prayer I didn’t know to pray

And I’ll spend forever trying to find the words to say

This ain’t just a feeling, it’s a lifelong ride

Girl, you’re home to me, no place I’d hide

And if forever’s a road, I’ll be right here beside—

Loving you for the rest of my life
