Nothing’s Gonna Break Us

[Verse 1]
Coffee cup
Empty chair
Your hoodie on the back
Like you’re still there
Truck keys
In my hand
But it don’t feel right
Driving solo through this land
[Chorus]
I love you more than the miles between us
More than any wrong word we’ve said
Baby, this heart only beats when you’re near it
You’re the home inside my chest
Storms might shake us, they won’t break us
I’ll be yours ‘til my last breath’s done
I miss you like crazy
But I ain’t goin’ anywhere, love
Nothing’s gonna break us up
[Verse 2]
Phone light
Late at night
Your name on the screen
Pulls me back in time
First kiss
Front porch swing
We were laughing at the future
Like we knew everything
[Chorus]
I love you more than the miles between us
More than any wrong word we’ve said
Baby, this heart only beats when you’re near it
You’re the home inside my chest
Storms might shake us, they won’t break us
I’ll be yours ‘til my last breath’s done
I miss you like crazy
But I ain’t goin’ anywhere, love
Nothing’s gonna break us up
[Bridge]
Yeah we’ll bend
We won’t break
We got roots too deep
For anyone to take
So when you’re scared
Just think of me
Holding on to you
Like you’re holding on to me (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
I love you more than the miles between us
More than any wrong word we’ve said
Baby, this heart only beats when you’re near it
You’re the home inside my chest
Storms might shake us, they won’t break us
I’ll be yours ‘til my last breath’s done
I miss you like crazy
But I ain’t goin’ anywhere, love
Nothing’s gonna break us up

country, Warm modern country ballad with male vocals, gentle acoustic strums and soft brushed drums; verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, chorus opens into wide harmonies and pedal steel swells; subtle piano doubles the hook in the last chorus for a goosebump lift
