[Verse 1]
Static on the radio, windows rolled down low
We were just two kids with nowhere to go
You were the summer heat, the "maybe" in my head
Everything felt easy in the words we never said
Teardrop letters written by your shaky hand
A world away from what you had planned
But, a phone call changed the rhythm of my heart
"I'm pregnant" you whispered..... And we were right back at the start
[Pre-Chorus]
Blurry vision, unable to see
Girl, you scared the love out of me
We tried to build a house on a fault line
Would we fix it? Could we go back in time?
[Chorus]
Oh, the blessing was the chaos!
The greatest thing we ever made
Through the screaming nights and the heavy price
I wouldn’t trade a single day
But we were burning out, we were fading fast
Two broken souls that weren't meant to last
But look at him now, the light in the dark
The beautiful end to a flickering spark
[Verse 2]
Diapers and deadlines, the walls closing in
We fought a war that neither could win
The "I'm sorrys" were silent, the "I hates" were loud
We lost ourselves inside of the cloud
So we walked away, tore the blueprint apart
Yeah, a decade lost trying to heal a heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Blurry vision, unable to see
Girl, you scared the love out of me
We tried to build a house on a fault line
Would we fix it? Could we go back in time?
[Chorus]
Oh, the blessing was the chaos!
The greatest thing we ever made
Through the screaming nights and the heavy price
I wouldn’t trade a single day
But we were burning out, we were fading fast
Two broken souls that weren't meant to last
But look at him now, the light in the dark
The beautiful end to a flickering spark
[Bridge / Breakdown]
NOW WE’RE OLDER! Older!
LOOKING THROUGH THE GLASS!
Watching the seasons and the years as they pass!
I SEE MY WRONGS! My wrongs!
YOU SEE YOURS TOO!
THE VERSION OF ME THAT WAS BITTER AT YOU!
(Heavy Breakdown)
IF WE KNEW THEN WHAT WE KNOW RIGHT NOW!
WOULD WE STILL BREAK EVERY SINGLE VOW?!
REGRET IS A WEIGHT BUT GRACE IS THE KEY!
THANK YOU FOR THE SON YOU GAVE TO ME!
[Outro]
I’m sorry for the kid I was
Proud of who we've become
It wasn't easy, an unfortunate cause
But, damn, look at our son
