So Much Better Now

We used to sleep in late

Slow mornings, no plans to make

Long drives and holding hands

Falling hard without a plan

I thought love was what we had back then

But I’d never felt what I feel now with them

It was good, but it’s better now

Back then was love—but look at us now

Little voices callin’ our names

Pictures drawn and peanut butter stains

I miss the quiet, I miss the chase

But I love this beautiful, messy place

We made a life, we made a vow

And it’s so much better now

Used to talk all night

Now we whisper with the baby’s light

Still get lost in your eyes

Even with toys on both sides

We traded freedom for something more

It’s louder love than we had before

It was good, but it’s better now

Back then was love—but look at us now

Little voices callin’ our names

Pictures drawn and peanut butter stains

I miss the quiet, I miss the chase

But I love this beautiful, messy place

We made a life, we made a vow

And it’s so much better now

It’s dishes, diapers, midnight cries

But this is the love that never dies

It was good, but it’s better now

Back then was love—but look at us now

Little hearts that look like you

Every day, a dream come true

I miss the quiet, I miss the chase

But I wouldn’t change a single day

We made a life, we made a vow

And it’s so much better now
