Verse 1
June ninth, two hearts on a little blue screen
Didn’t know what forever could mean
But something in you lit a fire in me
A love I never thought I’d see
Two days later, I was chasing the lines
Sixteen hours, nothing else on my mind
To Springfield skies, just to see your face
That’s the moment my world found its place
Chorus
I went back to Florida, but I couldn’t stay
Your love kept pulling me, calling my name
July twenty-ninth, I crossed that state line
For a vacation that turned into a lifetime
You held me close, and I swear I just knew
Missouri felt like home because home is you
Verse 2
Every mile I drove was worth every tear
Every goodbye just brought me back here
The roads kept ending where your arms begin
And I’d do it all over again
Chorus
I went back to Florida, but I couldn’t stay
Your love kept pulling me, calling my name
July twenty-ninth, I crossed that state line
For a vacation that turned into a lifetime
You held me close, and I swear I just knew
Missouri felt like home because home is you
Bridge
It’s been years since that first hello
But my heart still races like it did long ago
You’re my reason, my anchor, my safest place
My forever starts in your embrace
Final Chorus
I went back to Florida, but I couldn’t stay
Your love kept pulling me, calling my name
July twenty-ninth, I crossed that state line
For a vacation that turned into a lifetime
I thank the stars for the day that we grew
From a screen to a dream, now my dream is you
Outro
I’ll never stop choosing you, no matter where I roam
’Cause I found my forever—
the day she felt like home
