Verse 1
I was barefoot in the gravel,
With a hand-me-down old pole
He rolled his eyes when I walked up
Like I didn’t quite belong
His daddy tipped his hat at me
Said, “Girl, come on along”
But I could feel it in his silence
Like I was something wrong
I sat quiet by the river
Watched the current run away
Didn’t know it then, but I was
Learning hearts don’t always stay
He’d cast his line, I’d cast a wish
Out into that muddy flow
Hoping one day someone’d see me
The way I couldn’t show
Chorus
Someday I’ll be loved like a front porch light
Left on in the dark every single night
Like a name in a prayer when the sky falls down
Like a hand that stays when the world spins ‘round
I don’t need forever carved in gold
Just somebody who won’t let go
Yeah I might not be enough right now
But someday I’ll be loved
⸻
Verse 2
High school bleachers, Friday lights
I was just outside his world
He was chasing every dream he had
I was just that quiet girl
We danced once at the county fair
Spun slow under neon glow
But when the song was over,
He let go like he didn’t know
I drove home with the windows down
Let the night air dry my tears
Swore I’d never beg for something
That don’t wanna stay right here
But deep inside I kept a flame
I couldn’t quite outrun
That maybe somewhere down the road
I’d be somebody’s “one”
Chorus
Someday I’ll be loved like a front porch light
Left on in the dark every single night
Like a name in a prayer when the sky falls down
Like a hand that stays when the world spins ‘round
I don’t need forever carved in gold
Just somebody who won’t let go
Yeah I might not be enough right now
But someday I’ll be loved
⸻
Bridge
Maybe I’m the long way ‘round
Maybe I’m the broken road
Maybe I’m the almost love
Nobody could quite hold
But I believe there’s a heart out there
Beating just like mine
Waiting on the right wrong turn
At the perfect time
⸻
Verse 3
Now I’m older, standing strong
With a past I’ve learned to hold
Every scar’s a lesson
Every tear turned into gold
I ain’t chasing what won’t choose me
I ain’t begging anymore
‘Cause I finally see my worth
Like I never did before
And if he walks in one day
With forever in his eyes
He won’t have to save me
I’ll be right there by his side
Not the girl who needed proving
Not the one who feared goodbye
But a woman who knows love
Ain’t something you gotta fight
⸻
Final Chorus (Bigger)
Someday I’ll be loved like a front porch light
Burnin’ steady through the longest nights
Like a promise kept when the storm rolls in
Like a truth you feel deep under your skin
I don’t need a fairytale untold
Just a heart that won’t turn cold
Yeah I waited long enough to know
Someday I’ll be loved
⸻
Outro
Yeah I waited long enough to know…
I was always worth that love.
