[Verse 1]
First time I saw you
Those eyes cut right through
Burned your name
On every page of me
That little half-smile
Like it knew my secrets
Lit a quiet flame
I never thought would breathe
[Pre-Chorus]
All these years and I still wonder
If you ever feel this thunder
[Chorus]
Oh God
I wish that you could see me
Standing here
Heart in my hands
Oh God
I wish that you could be
The one who wears this simple band
All these years later
Still I remember
Every look
Every word
Every tremor
I swear on every broken yesterday
I love you more today
[Verse 2]
We went our own ways
Different towns
Different faces
But you stayed
In the corners of my mind
Tried to move on
Had some almost-forevers
But every goodbye
Just circled back in time
[Pre-Chorus]
All these days and I still stutter
When I say your name out loud
I shudder
[Chorus]
Oh God
I wish that you could see me
All the ways that I have grown
Oh God
I wish that you could be
The hand I’m holding heading home
All these years later
Fire’s still burning
Every road
Every wrong
Kept turning
Back to you in every quiet day
I love you more today
[Bridge]
If I find you on some morning
Coffee steam and sunlight pouring (ohh)
I’ll bend my shaking knee
Ask you if you’ll stay with me
[Chorus]
Oh God
I wish that you could see me
How I’d cherish every breath
Oh God
I wish that you could be
My promise through each life and death
All these years later
Forever closer
Every dream
Every prayer
It’s your name over
If tomorrow steals my chance away
I’ll love you more
More than yesterday
I love you more today (ohh God)
