Twenty-Five To One

We were kids in borrowed cars

Clumsy hands and open hearts

Every summer

Every fight

Somehow we still made it right

Twenty-five years on this road

Groceries

Bills

Inside jokes

Laugh lines drawn across your face

That’s my favorite kind of change

I want us back

Back to reaching for the same dream

Laughing ‘til we can’t breathe

I want us back

Not the past

Just you and me

Finding out what this can be

After all these days and tears

I still choose you

Right here

I want us back

After twenty-five years

We got lost in busy days

Talked in lists

Not what we crave

I’ve been standing in this house

Missing you while you’re around

Can we trade our phones for time

Sit and say what’s on our minds

I’m still learning how you feel

Teach me how to love you still

I want us back

Back to reaching for the same dream

Laughing ‘til we can’t breathe

I want us back

Not the past

Just you and me

Finding out what this can be

After all these days and tears

I still choose you

Right here

I want us back

After twenty-five years

We are more than what we were

More than every hurtful word

If you’re willing

Take my hand (hey)

We can start again

Again

I want us back

Back to reaching for the same dream

Laughing ‘til we can’t breathe

I want us back

Not the past

Just you and me

Writing what the ending is

With another borrowed kiss

After all these days and tears

I still choose you

My dear

I want us back

After twenty-five years
