[Verse 1]
You were just a late arrival
To a night I almost skipped
Holding laughter in a red cup
Name tag peeling off your wrist
You said
“Hi
I think we’re neighbors”
Like we’d practiced it before
Every word a tiny earthquake
I’m still standing in that door
[Chorus]
You’re my every when
My yesterday and tomorrow
Every “where’ve you been?”
Every borrowed
Healed-up sorrow
You’re my every why
Every reason I keep breathing in
From the moment that you touched my hand
You became my everything
[Verse 2]
Coffee stains on all our first plans
Rain that chased us into June
Talking life in crooked bar stools
Leaving far too late
Too soon
You remember all my small things
How I hate the taste of mint
How I freeze in every photo
But you love me in every print
[Chorus]
You’re my every when
My yesterday and tomorrow
Every “where’ve you been?”
Every borrowed
Healed-up sorrow
You’re my every why
Every reason I keep breathing in
From the moment that you touched my hand
You became my everything
[Bridge]
If the days turn dark and heavy
If the maps all fade and bend
I don’t need to know the distance
If it means I reach your hand
All the versions of my future
All the roads I didn’t take
Led me here to say this plainly
You’re the choice I’d always make (always)
[Chorus]
You’re my every when
My yesterday and tomorrow
Every “where’ve you been?”
Every borrowed
Healed-up sorrow
You’re my every why
Every reason I keep breathing in
From the night you laughed and said my name
You became my everything
