Got You Now

[Intro]
[soft piano and rimshot groove]
I used to eat alone at midnight
TV glow and a cheap red wine
Talking to the quiet in the kitchen
Fork on a plate
Ticking like time
[Verse 1]
I used to count cracks in the ceiling
Wonder if this roof would cave
Driving past that county fair on Sundays
Thinking some things just don’t change
[Pre-Chorus]
All of that space on the passenger side
All of those miles with nothing but pride
[Chorus]
But look at me now
I got you
Front porch swing
Sunset view
Laughing so hard that we lose the tune (hey!)
Burnt toast
Bare feet in the living room
Yeah
Look at my life
It came true
I didn’t know better ‘til I met you
All that “doing fine” was just getting through
Now it’s good
It’s good ‘cause I got you
[Verse 2]
(Female)
I used to plan out every weekend
Just to dodge that quiet ache
Second cup of coffee in the morning
Just to feel my hands not shake
(Male)
I used to turn my phone face over
So I couldn’t watch it stay still
Tell my friends I liked the freedom
Wear that story like a shield
[Pre-Chorus]
Both:
All of that talk about loving the road
Truth is we both just feared coming home
[Chorus]
But look at us now
I got you
Two mugs
One pot
Same brew
Old jeans
Your shirt
Sun sneaking through (oh yeah)
Dog hair stuck to the couch like glue
Yeah
Look at this mess
It’s our view
All of that nothing turned into proof
Life tasted flat ‘til it hit your groove
Now it’s good
It’s good ‘cause I got you
[Bridge]
(Male)
There was a time I swore I liked the quiet
(Female)
Swore I liked my side of the bed
Both:
Now I reach across in the middle of the night
Just to make sure you’re still there instead
[Chorus]
Both:
Look at us now
I got you
Rain on the roof
We sleep straight through
Bills on the table
But we make do (we make do)
Every little worry finds a lighter hue
When your hand slides into mine on cue
All that “doing fine” was just half-truth
Now it’s good
It’s good
Yeah
It’s all brand new
And it’s good
So good ‘cause I got you
