Somehow, It Was You

I wasn’t looking for forever,

I was just learning how to breathe,

Carrying pieces of a heart

I didn’t know I’d ever need.

Then you walked into my story

Like a chapter I forgot,

And suddenly the lonely road

Didn’t feel so long.

Maybe every wrong turn

Was leading me your way,

Maybe every broken heart

Was teaching me to stay.

Out of all the stars above me,

Out of every road I could’ve chosen,

Out of every hand I could’ve held,

Somehow yours was the one I wanted.

And if I had to live it all again,

Every heartbreak, every bend,

I’d still walk through the darkness

Just to find you at the end.

I don’t know how,

I don’t know why…

But somehow,

it was you.

I fell in love with little moments,

The way you say my name,

The quiet conversations

When the whole world fades away.

The way you make me laugh

When I don’t feel like smiling,

The way your arms feel like a place

I’ve been searching for awhile.

And maybe love isn’t fireworks,

Maybe it’s coming home,

Finding someone in the silence

Who makes you feel less alone.

Out of all the stars above me,

Out of every road I could’ve chosen,

Out of every heart I could’ve known,

Somehow yours was the one I opened.

And if I had to live it all again,

Every heartbreak, every bend,

I’d still walk through the darkness

Just to find you at the end.

I don’t know how,

I don’t know why…

But somehow,

it was you.

And when we’re old and the years have changed us,

When our hands don’t look the way they do tonight,

I’ll still remember the first time I realized

I didn’t want to spend my life

Anywhere else but by your side.

Let the seasons come.

Let the years fly by.

Let the world keep turning

Underneath the same sky.

If I get one lifetime,

I know what I’ll choose—

A thousand different beginnings,

As long as they all end with you.

Out of all the stars above me,

Out of every dream I could’ve dreamed,

Out of every soul upon this earth,

You became the one who found me.

And if heaven gave me one more chance

To go back and live it all again,

I’d take every tear and every scar

Just to meet you at the end.

Because love isn’t always perfect,

And forever isn’t always easy,

But if I get to face tomorrow

With your hand holding mine…

Then whatever comes,

Whatever we lose,

Whatever life decides to put us through—

I’ll choose you.

I’ll keep choosing you.

Maybe it was fate.

Maybe it was chance.

Maybe the universe

Just wanted us to dance.

But after everything I’ve been through,

There’s one thing I know is true—

Somehow…

somewhere…

in this enormous world…

it was always going to be you.
