[Verse 1]
We were too young to know what we had
You were all in
I was half in
Half gone
Kept my guard up
Kept my phone on silent
Let the good thing walk home alone
Thought I needed every open door
Chasing someday
You were asking for today
I broke the best thing I’d ever prayed for
Thought it was over
Thought you’d fade
[Chorus]
But it’s time to love
Time to live
Time to give what I couldn’t give
I lost you once
I won’t lose you again (no way)
Yeah
It’s up and down
That’s how it is
But we both stayed through the storm and the shifts
You came back and I finally did too
Meant to be
Meant to be you
[Verse 2]
Years went by
Saw your life in pieces
Little pictures
Smiles I wasn’t in
I learned slow
Through the quiet evenings
What it costs to keep my distance
Worked on the parts I used to hide
Learned to show up
Even when I’m scared
So when you called
Said “I miss your laugh”
This time I was already there
[Chorus]
‘Cause it’s time to love
Time to live
Time to give what I couldn’t give
I lost you once
I won’t lose you again (no way)
Yeah
It’s up and down
That’s how it is
But we both stayed through the storm and the shifts
You came back and I finally did too
Meant to be
Meant to be you
[Bridge]
We don’t need perfect
We need effort
Late-night talks
Early-morning check-ins (oh)
Every small choice saying “I choose you”
Every hard day
I’m staying present
If it’s not you
Then it’s not enough
I won’t settle for a halfway trust
We did the work
Now look at us
Right place
Right hearts
Right love
[Chorus]
Now it’s time to love
Time to live
Time to give all I came here with
I lost you once
I won’t lose you again (never)
Yeah
It’s up and down
That’s how it is
But your hand in mine makes sense of it
We came back and we finally broke through
Meant to be
Meant to be you
(We were meant to be
Yeah
I’m ready for you)
