[Verse 1]
I was good at leaving early
Before the coffee hit the cup
Kept my name off every mailbox
Kept one hand on packing up
Then you laughed beside the doorway
With your sleeves rolled to the rain
And the room I kept avoiding
Started asking me to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need a map this time
I know the road by heart
[Chorus]
You are my person, plain as a porch light
The one I look for when the day goes wrong
No grand parade, no perfect warning
Just your hand finding mine and holding on
If love is a place, I found the doorway
If home is a voice, it's calling me yours
You are my person, now and always
The life I never knew I was waiting for
[Verse 2]
You know the worst of my weather
The stubborn streak, the restless sleep
Still you leave the hallway lamp on
Still you save the last slice for me
We can make a little kitchen
Out of any borrowed town
Two chipped mugs beside the window
And enough to settle down
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need the stars to line
You've already changed my heart
[Chorus]
You are my person, plain as a porch light
The one I look for when the day goes wrong
No grand parade, no perfect warning
Just your hand finding mine and holding on
If love is a place, I found the doorway
If home is a voice, it's calling me yours
You are my person, now and always
The life I never knew I was waiting for
[Bridge]
When the years put silver in our hair
When the bills stack high and the paint peels thin
I'll still turn around and find you there
And choose this life all over again
[Final Chorus]
You are my person, steady as sunrise
The one I reach for when the night runs long
No grand parade, no perfect warning
Just your hand finding mine and holding on
If love is a place, I found the doorway
If home is a voice, it's calling me yours
You are my person, now and always
The life I never knew I was waiting for
[Outro]
The life I never knew I was waiting for
Your hand finding mine and holding on
