In another life, we'd find each other quicker
But this life, I'll spend it learning how to come home to you
In another life, we'd waste no time
No maps to fold, no clocks to mind
You'd be the first line I ever write
And the last light I keep through the night

You make me want to put love down in ink
Then fold the page and learn to live it, not just think
I don't want your shape to bend for me
No asking you to be what you're not
I want the truth of you, unclothed and free
A quiet room where we can both be caught

I will treat your heart like a home, honored to be let in
Shelter in the day, shelter when the storms begin
We'll return to the last honest word and build from there
Tiny faithful moments that change everything inside the air

I will stand with you in the thin and thick
Hold the map when roads go trick
Ask you to stand with me as I learn to grow
Plant seeds in the small places only we will know
No applause required for what we do at night
No witnesses needed for the steady light

I won't ask you to fit a mould I made
I'll love the edges, raw and real
We'll tend the quiet vows, the promises we trade
And show up when the world forgets how to feel

I will treat your heart like a home, honored to be let in
Shelter in the day, shelter when the storms begin
We'll return to the last honest word and build from there
Tiny faithful moments that change everything inside the air

Love, to me, is returning again and again
To that last honest conversation
And starting from that truth
It isn't fireworks for the crowd
It's the quiet that keeps us
The breakfast laugh, the half-told dream
The evening silence where our fingers lean
Little things that nobody sees, but we do
They are the life I promise you

I will treat your heart like a home honored to be let in
Shelter in the day, shelter when the storms begin
We'll return to the last honest word and build from there
Tiny faithful moments that change everything inside the air

I don't just want to love you, I want to live you, whole and true
To make the ordinary sacred, every simple day with you
In another life, maybe we'd rush
Here, I'll stay slow, and learn how to come home to you, always
