Ten Years of Us

[Verse 1]
Back row
Homeroom
Passing notes on lined-up desks
Borrowed hoodie
Shy glances
Nervous yes
After-school parking lot
You were learning how to drive
Windows down
Hearts up
Just glad to be alive
[Chorus]
Look at you now
Standing here in white
All of those Fridays turned into this night
Ten years of us in a single “I do”
Every late text
Every slow dance
Led right here
To this chance
To say it again
I choose you
[Verse 2]
Cafés and deadlines
You two split the same old drink
Cap and gown
Teary town
First time on the brink
Tiny place
Creaky floor
Handwritten names on the door
Burnt toast
Broke days
Still
You wanted more
[Chorus]
Look at you now
Standing here in white
All of those Fridays turned into this night
Ten years of us in a single “I do”
Every late text
Every slow dance
Led right here
To this chance
To say it again
I choose you
[Bridge]
We’ve watched you fight
Watched you grow (oh yeah)
Learn to stay
Learn to stay when it’s slow
If this is what forever is
It started with that first shy kiss
[Chorus]
Look at you now
Holding on so tight
All of those almosts glowing in this light
Ten years of us in a single “I do”
Every bad day
Every breakthrough
Led right here
To this view
So say it again
Say it again
I choose you

folk, Warm acoustic pop ballad with male vocals; fingerpicked guitar and soft piano leading the first verse. Subtle pads and light percussion bloom in the chorus, with intimate backing harmonies on key phrases. Second verse adds gentle bass and brushed drums. Bridge lifts with a melodic guitar counter-line and a small dynamic swell, then drops to a close, almost whispered final chorus.
