[Verse 1]
We got tiny shoes by the door
Little hands pull you off the floor
Half the night in the hallway glow
One eye open, moving slow
You look at me like you miss the old me
Like the room still knows how we used to be
Before the bottles, before the cries
Before the toys in the corner, before the tired eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
I see you in the sink light
Lips red, hair half-tied
And I still want that old heat
When you leaned in close to me
Now the baby’s in our bed
And I’m counting what we never said
Tell me we can steal some time
Tell me you’re still mine
[Chorus]
Before the kids, before the kids
You and me were dangerous
Before the kids, before the kids
I still miss your hands on us
Hold me close, don’t let it fade
We can love in the mess we made
Before the kids, before the kids
I still want you like that
[Verse 2]
Dinner gets cold on the plate
We trade looks, then it’s too late
You’re bending down for the millionth thing
I’m watching your skin like a reckless dream
You laugh at me when I’m falling apart
Say “baby, breathe,” then you soften hard
And that’s the part that wrecks my mind
How you can be a storm and a peace at the same time
[Pre-Chorus]
I see you in the sink light
Lips red, hair half-tied
And I still want that old heat
When you leaned in close to me
Now the baby’s in our bed
And I’m counting what we never said
Tell me we can steal some time
Tell me you’re still mine
[Chorus]
Before the kids, before the kids
You and me were dangerous
Before the kids, before the kids
I still miss your hands on us
Hold me close, don’t let it fade
We can love in the mess we made
Before the kids, before the kids
I still want you like that
[Bridge]
Let the house go quiet
Let the walls forget
I want your name in the dark
Like a promise I can’t quit
We made a life, we made it hard
But you’re still the one that pulls my card
If tonight is all we get
Come here, come here, don’t leave yet
[Chorus]
Before the kids, before the kids
You and me were dangerous
Before the kids, before the kids
I still miss your hands on us
Hold me close, don’t let it fade
We can love in the mess we made
Before the kids, before the kids
I still want you like that
