Half of My Whole

[Verse 1]
Met you on an ordinary Tuesday
Coffee cold, but you were bright and bold
You laughed at how I lost my car keys
Said, "Baby, you just need someone to hold"
You showed me maps I never pictured
Books and roads and little hidden roads
Every mile I ride beside you
Feels like coming home
[Chorus]
You’re my other half, my whole heart
My calm in the crazy, my place to start
You turn my gray days into gold
You’re my story being told
Every hug, every kiss, every step we take
Feels like a journey that we get to make
Hand in hand, yeah, that’s all I’ll ever need
You’re my other half
The better half of me
[Verse 2]
You’re the one I call with my questions
You smile, say, "Baby, let's figure it out"
You make the hardest things feel simple
Turn my worry into quiet somehow
Singing loud off-key in the kitchen
Bare feet dancing on the faded floor
I used to dream of some big finish
Now I just dream of one more
[Chorus]
You’re my other half, my whole heart
My calm in the crazy, my place to start
You turn my gray days into gold
You’re my story being told
Every hug, every kiss, every step we take
Feels like a journey that we get to make
Hand in hand, yeah, that’s all I’ll ever need
You’re my other half
The better half of me
[Bridge]
I was fine before I met you
Or at least that’s what I’d say
But you taught me what it feels like
To love the little things each day
Now every sunset, every sunrise
Is sweeter when you’re next to me
You’re my question and my answer
My heart’s favorite memory
[Chorus]
You’re my other half, my whole heart
My calm in the crazy, my place to start
You turn my gray days into gold
You’re my story being told
Every hug, every kiss, every step we take
Feels like a journey that we get to make
Hand in hand, yeah, that’s all I’ll ever need
You’re my other half
Yeah, you’re my other half
The better half of me (oh yeah)

country, Warm modern country ballad with male vocals, mid-tempo brushed drums, fiddle and pedal steel weaving around an intimate acoustic guitar. Verses stay close and conversational; chorus swells with stacked harmonies and a simple, sing-along melody. Subtle piano fills the cracks, final chorus lifts with extra ad-libs and a held last note., happy
