[Verse 1]
There are crayons in the hallway
Little shoes against the wall
I can hear him in the next room
Singing nonsense to the door
Case files on the table
Coffee gone from staying up
Trying to read a language
That keeps talking over us
[Chorus]
I am terrified of tomorrow
But I’m holding you tonight
You’re the only thing that ever
Ever felt like I got right
If the world comes like a thunder
If they try to take your joy
I will stand here as your shelter
You’re my miracle
My boy
[Verse 2]
They say “policy” and “timeline”
Like we’re numbers on a page
I am begging in a hallway
While the clock calls out my age
Every signature
A shiver
Every meeting
One more test
Do they see the way you giggle
Cheerios stuck to your chest
[Chorus]
I am terrified of tomorrow
But I’m holding you tonight
You’re the only thing that ever
Ever felt like I got right
If the world comes like a thunder
If they try to take your joy
I will stand here as your shelter
You’re my miracle
My boy
[Bridge]
If they draw their crooked lines
I will color past the edge (oh I will)
I will learn the words they’re using
Just to keep you in my hands
I am shaking
I am stubborn
I am softer than I seem
But I’ll turn this fear to armor
I’ll rebuild us from this dream
[Chorus]
I am terrified of tomorrow
Still I’m holding you tonight
Every breath we take together
Is a small and stubborn light
If the storm rolls in around us
If they try to steal our joy
I will love you through the wreckage
You’re my miracle
My boy
