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
