[Verse 1]
Thought I was used up
Burned out
Past my prime
Swore that the doors were closed
On my one last try
Then you walked in slow
Coffee on a Tuesday night
Laugh in your throat
And that stubborn little smile
[Chorus]
Love only comes once
That’s what they say
I almost missed it
Pushing you away
You bring the shine to my light
You light the path in the dark
When I’m down and out
You’re there
Right there in my arms
[Verse 2]
I keep my guard high
You see straight through steel
Reading the lines I hide
Saying
“Tell me what you feel”
You take my shaking hands
Like they never shook before
Turn my quiet fears
Into something worth fighting for
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
When the bills stack up
And the nights run long
When I lose my words
And I get it all wrong
You don’t turn your back
You just pull me near
Breathing on my neck
Saying
“I’m still here
I’m still here” [soft echo]
[Chorus]
