[Intro]
Yeah
For every version of me you stayed beside
This is for you
[Verse 1]
I remember cold coffee by the bedroom sink
Me saying I was fine when I was on the brink
You read the quiet better than I read my face
Put your hand in mine and gave the fear a place
When my plans fell through and my pride got loud
You never needed me to impress the crowd
You saw the cracked parts underneath the skin
Called me back to myself and let the healing in
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't repay the nights you gave away
But I can choose you more with every day
[Chorus]
You were there when I was hard to hold
When my heart got tired and my faith ran cold
If the years move fast, let them find us side by side
I'll fight for every minute with you in my life
You are more than a promise, more than a dream
The safest place this restless heart has seen
Whatever comes, whatever we go through
I'll spend my time getting more time with you
[Verse 2]
You know the grocery list and the battles I hide
The little half-smile when you're trying not to cry
You make a home from a room and a little bit of grace
Turn an ordinary Tuesday into my favorite place
I was counting all the ways that I had lost my way
You were counting on the man I could become someday
Now I see forever isn't some distant view
It's folding warm laundry while I'm laughing next to you
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't erase the weight you helped me bear
But I can meet you with my whole heart there
[Chorus]
You were there when I was hard to hold
When my heart got tired and my faith ran cold
If the years move fast, let them find us side by side
I'll fight for every minute with you in my life
You are more than a promise, more than a dream
The safest place this restless heart has seen
Whatever comes, whatever we go through
I'll spend my time getting more time with you
[Bridge]
If tomorrow asks for everything I have
I'll give it with your fingers in my hand
No perfect words, no easy road in view
Just one more sunrise I get to share with you
And when my strength is thin, when the night runs long
I'll remember you were steady all along
So let the world keep turning, let the seasons change
I'll choose you in the ordinary and the strange
[Final Chorus]
You were there when I was hard to hold
When my heart got tired and my faith ran cold
If the years move fast, let them find us side by side
I'll fight for every minute with you in my life
You are more than a promise, more than a dream
The safest place this restless heart has seen
Whatever comes, whatever we go through
I'll spend my time getting more time with you
[Outro]
Thank you for the worst days you walked me through
Thank you for the life I get to build with you
More time, more mornings, more truth
My whole heart keeps coming back to you
