[Verse 1]
I used to carry
a sky full of rain
Workboots dirty
and a hard-earned name
You walked in smiling
like a Sunday song
Set a hand on my shoulder
and I stood up strong
[Pre-Chorus]
You found the cracks
I learned to hide
You lit that old porch
on the inside
[Chorus]
You’re the light
to my darkness
The fire in my chest
You’re the calm in my roughest
The best I ever guessed
(you’re the light)
You’re the light
to my darkness
And baby, that’s the truth
When the world goes cold and far away
I’m still glowing from you
[Verse 2]
There’s dust on the pickup
and mud on the floor
But when you laugh, honey
I don’t need more
You put your hair up
and fix that ring
Somehow you make
the whole house sing
[Pre-Chorus]
You found the cracks
I learned to hide
You lit that old porch
on the inside
[Chorus]
You’re the light
to my darkness
The fire in my chest
You’re the calm in my roughest
The best I ever guessed
(you’re the light)
You’re the light
to my darkness
And baby, that’s the truth
When the world goes cold and far away
I’m still glowing from you
[Bridge]
If I ever wander
if I ever fall
You’ll be that lantern
burning through it all
And I’ll come back home
with the night laid down
'Cause your love keeps shining
when mine runs out
[Chorus]
You’re the light
to my darkness
The fire in my chest
You’re the calm in my roughest
The best I ever guessed
(you’re the light)
You’re the light
to my darkness
And baby, that’s the truth
When the world goes cold and far away
I’m still glowing from you
