Every Moment Deserves Its Own Song

[Verse 1] We were just kids with our hands on the future Talking like nothing could change Making big plans on a small little shoreline Writing our names down on the same page Then boxes, goodbyes and new addresses Two different lives on the move And I learned that some things don't stop Just because they're not in the room [Pre-Chorus] So I kept your candle burning in the silence of my mind Not thinking that the years would be especially kind Just hoping wherever you were out there That you were doing alright [Chorus] Separated by a thousand miles Living under different skies What I thought was only chance Was a future in disguise Who could have placed these pieces So they'd perfectly align? It's like the world was waiting For the moment we'd collide [Verse 2] I met new crowds in new corners of cities Learned how to smile on my own Filled up the spaces with noise and with motion Still something in me always stayed home You can call it moving on, call it growing Call it the way people do But every "almost" I tried to make fit Had the outline of you [Pre-Chorus] Then one ordinary day, in an unfamiliar place I heard your laugh and I turned to see your familiar face And the breath inside me caught and held like time had stopped the air Then slowly pouring out in hopes that you would see me there [Chorus] Separated by a thousand miles Living under different skies What I thought was only chance Was a future in disguise Who could have placed these pieces So they'd perfectly align? It's like the world was waiting For the moment we'd collide [Bridge] We didn't need a movie moment No perfect words, no perfect scene Just you and me, a little older And everything in-between All those years that felt like endings Were just leading to our time Teaching our hearts what they already knew When I found your hand in mine [Final Chorus] Separated by a thousand miles Living under different skies What I thought was only chance Was a future in disguise Who could have placed these pieces So they'd perfectly align? It's like the world was waiting For the moment we'd collide [Outro] And now I don't have to wonder Or ask the stars to explain I get to choose you, fully, finally No more questions left, just today and sweet champagne

[Verse 1] This square was just a little room until you arrived, Now even in the silence it is totally alive. The ceiling fan is keeping time, To whispered songs and nursery rhymes But all these toys and other things Without you here don't mean a thing [Chorus] Oh our little love, you just don't know what all you've done Composed our quiet home into an echoing song. Sunlight plays across the blinds, Like chords of light's refrain This house now resonates the theme The music of your name [Verse 2] These walls will hear you learn to play, then finally learn to run, A thousand little first notes, played out one by one. They'll feel the rhythm of your steps drumming soft and light, And metronomes of day and night will measure out your life, And every movement, as you change, The keys of home will stay the same [Bridge] And when the day comes you're an anthem on your own, Scoring wide horizons so far away from home, These rooms will keep your chorus near, The walls play you the same

[Verse 1 - Morning] Morning slips in without a sound, soft gold across the floor Dust in the air like tiny stars I never saw before I hold my cup and watch the steam unwind itself in air And feel that same sweet ache return for something that's not there [Pre-Chorus] Outside, the world looks simple, like it knows just what it is And I'm in here, still stretching past the edges of my hands [Chorus] I have no idea what's waiting On the other side of then While I'm searching for a door Whose call invites me in I keep hearing something true That's echoing again I'm bigger than where I am [Verse 2 - Day] By noon I'm out among the noise, the traffic and the heat Sunlight dancing on the sidewalk trying to be sweet I sign my name on little things I swear I didn't mean A calendar of borrowed hours, all tidy in-between [Pre-Chorus] I hold my face composed, while inside of me I'm torn But something hidden's reaching for a life I haven't worn [Chorus] I have no idea what's waiting On the other side of then While I'm searching for a door Whose call invites me in I keep hearing something true That's echoing again I'm bigger than where I am [Bridge] Maybe it's simple Maybe it's time Maybe I'm tired Of walking that line I keep saying "later" Like later's a friend But I can feel it Getting closer again If I take one honest step Let the ground meet my feet Maybe the future I'm hearing Is already hearing me [Verse 3 - Night] The room is barely lit, just the streetlight on the wall A glass half full of something I don't even taste at all I let the record turn awhile, the needle doing its part And I keep playing like I'm fine, but it won't fool my heart [Pre-Chorus] There's a restlessness in me that doesn't need a reason why It just shows up in the quiet, like a low note hanging high [Chorus] I have no idea what's waiting On the other side of then While I'm searching for a door Whose call invites me in I keep hearing something true That's echoing again I'm bigger than where I am

[Verse 1] I had stepped out of my shadows on a quest to light my heart Learning how to walk alone before another start You had your past behind you, tired of superficial love Searching for the one who'd see the life you're worthy of [Pre-Chorus] After breaking out of chaos into loneliness and peace I found you out there knowing you were waiting there for me [Chorus] You are only all of everything, no middle ground in sight In a world of halves and maybes, you are all that is alright From the ashes of our yesterdays, you light the faded spark You're only all of everything that leads us from the dark [Verse 2] Once I carried all the promise, thought the easy road was mine But the fortune fell to ashes, left me building line by line You stayed steady through the trials, never asking me to bend You still believe the outcomes will be with us in the end [Pre-Chorus] Though the finish line keeps moving, though the prize is out of view I don't need the world to crown me when I've already found you [Chorus] You are only all of everything, no middle ground in sight In a world of halves and maybes, you are all that is alright From the ashes of our yesterdays, you light the faded spark You're only all of everything that leads us from the dark
