Verse 1
Nineteen ninety-nine, cousin’s house
Cards on the table, drinks going down
I said your name, you said mine
Didn’t know I just crossed a line
You smiled like you’d seen it all
I felt something I couldn’t call
Didn’t need a reason or a clue
I just kept ending up next to you
Pre-Chorus
Didn’t call you Kimber back then
You were just her
But somehow you became
Everything I was
Chorus
I get tangled up in you
Every time I try to stand
When the world gets heavy
You still reach for my hand
We fight like hell, yeah we always do
But I’d break before I ever lose you
You’re my heart, my truth
It’s always been you
Verse 2
Long nights down by the shore
Salt on our skin, feet on the floor
That old bungalow, broken door
We laughed sleeping on the boards
No money, just Christmas lights
Still felt warm holding you tight
Poor years that meant everything
You were my best damn gift
Pre-Chorus
Somewhere along the way
You became “babe”
And “baby” stuck
Like your name was made that way
Chorus
I get tangled up in you
When I start to fall apart
Every word I never said
You still read my heart
We break, we bend, we pull back through
I’ve never been stronger than next to you
You’re my home, my truth
It’s always been you
Bridge (quiet, almost spoken)
We said things we can’t take back
Yeah, we crossed a few bad lines
But we loved harder than we fought
Every single time
Three kids watching us learn
Three grandbabies saying our names
Every scar, every mile
Still leads me back the same
Build
I don’t say it enough
But I know it’s true
I’m only whole
When I’m next to you
Final Chorus (full, emotional)
I get tangled up in you
Deeper every year
Every tear, every laugh
Brought us here
If the world caves in tonight
I’ll still be standing by your side
You’re my forever, my truth
My heart beats because of you
Outro (soft, low)
I don’t need saving
I just need you
Always you
