[Verse 1]
I chose you then, with a borrowed coat
And a paper cup going cold in my hand
You said my name like a secret oath
I didn't know, but I wanted to understand
[Pre-Chorus]
Now every road has a different bend
Every promise gets tested again
[Chorus]
I chose you then, I choose you in between
In the quiet cracks and the messy scenes
When the easy answer isn't true
I keep finding my way back to you
I chose you then, I choose you in between
Not a perfect story, just the life we mean
Let the whole world change its tune
I will keep choosing you
[Verse 2]
We have worn out the edge of the bed
Argued over doors and the bills unpaid
Still you leave the hallway light ahead
Like a small, stubborn promise we made
[Pre-Chorus]
If tomorrow pulls us out of line
Put your shaking hand back into mine
[Chorus]
I chose you then, I choose you in between
In the quiet cracks and the messy scenes
When the easy answer isn't true
I keep finding my way back to you
I chose you then, I choose you in between
Not a perfect story, just the life we mean
Let the whole world change its tune
I will keep choosing you
[Bridge]
No grand parade, no borrowed crown
Just your voice when the walls come down
If I lose the map, if I lose the view
I know the first thing I will do
[Final Chorus]
I chose you then, I choose you in between
Every hard goodbye and the almost-dream
When the easy answer isn't true
I keep finding my way back to you
I chose you then, I choose you in between
With the open hands and the worn-out jeans
Let the whole world change its tune
I will keep choosing you
[Outro]
I chose you then
I choose you now
I choose you in between
