[Verse 1]
I was used to being distant
Building walls like it was instinct
Same shirt
Same thoughts
Same loop
Same fear I’d stay this way for good
Then you showed up in my worst year
Laughing like the weight wasn’t there
Said
“You’re more than what you’ve been through”
I didn’t trust me
But somehow I trusted you
[Chorus]
You mean everything to me
More than words I ever say clean
If the world falls out from under my feet
You’re the ground I still believe
You’re the calm in all my chaos
Proof that I’m not just my past scars
If I lose it all
You’re the one I keep
‘Cause you
You mean everything to me (yeah)
[Verse 2]
You’ve seen every side I hate
Dark moods
Long nights
Dead weight
You don’t flinch when I’m not okay
You just sit there
You just stay
Car rides
Talking till the gas light’s on
Drive-thru fries
Singing off-key songs (hey!)
You remember every small thing I say
Like my favorite fear
My birthday
You tell me I’m brave when I feel broke
Turn my panic into bad jokes
When I question if I’m worth your time
You just pull me in and change my mind
[Chorus]
You mean everything to me
More than plans that I don’t yet see
If the sky goes black
I can barely breathe
You’re the hand that reaches me
You’re the voice that cuts the noise out
Quiet truth inside my self-doubt
If I lose it all
You’re the one I keep
‘Cause you
You mean everything to me (oh yeah)
[Bridge]
One day I’ll lay it on a ring
Promise you my name
My every summer
Every spring
House full of pictures that we frame on the wall
Kids in the hallway
“Mom
I’m scared
” they call
You’ll be the strength that I point to
I’ll say
“You know who taught me love? You”
I don’t ever want a life you’re not in
If you’re the start
I don’t need an end
[Chorus]
You mean everything to me
Every hope I didn’t dare dream
If the ground shakes hard
If the walls all lean
You’re the one thing standing free
You’re my home when I’m uprooted
Perfect flaw in all my ruins
If I lose it all
You’re the one I keep
Yeah
You
You mean everything to me
(You mean everything to me)
