Two roads off the interstate, a place where everybody knows your name
Small town Friday nights, only thing shining is football game
Same hand-me-down roots, same old gravel road
We might’ve passed at the Kroger store, never even known
Both wearing wedding bands we don’t wear anymore
You were the cute girl with the quiet laugh I’d heard before
I was the boy trying hard to raise my last name
Two strangers living different lives in the same place
Hearts quietly bruised, pretending we were strong
Living ten minutes apart our whole lives long
Pre-Chorus
Time took the long way around
To bring two broken souls back to the same hometown
Chorus
Lost love found swiping on a whim
Two old hearts learning a brand-new thing
All those miles just to understand
Forever was waiting in our hometown land
Every wrong turn somehow led to this song
The one meant for me was right here all along
⸻
Verse 2
We didn’t know what we were starting that night
Just a simple match turned into sparks and light
A long lost love we never knew we missed
Felt like our first… but somehow always existed
We told old stories, laughing through the past
At all the broken roads that couldn’t last
Funny how pain can finally make you see
How did I never notice you were right in front of me
Two hearts searching for a love that was finally found
Fireworks flying with passion but peaceful comfort somehow
You might have to look up at me with those eyes.
Your hand in mine fit easy, no doubt
Like our hearts remembered what we forgot about
Pre-Chorus
We didn’t start young, but we started true
God saved my best days for loving you
Chorus
Lost love found swiping on a whim
Two old hearts learning a brand-new thing
All those miles just to understand
Forever was waiting in our hometown land
Every wrong turn somehow led to this song
The one meant for me was right here all along
⸻
Bridge
We had to break before we knew what whole meant
Had to hurt to know where heaven was sent
All those years we were searching for someone new
Just to find out I was always meant for you
⸻
Final Chorus
Lost love found, no running around
Two weary souls finally settling down
No more lonely nights holding on strong
We were just late… not wrong
All the heartache made our love strong
The one meant for me was right here all along
