No Reason To Roam (her side) (response to The Outlaw Saint No Reason To Roam)
[Verse 1] Maybe I’m old-fashioned In a world that trades love in But I still wear this weddin’ band ‘Cause I said, “I do” to my best friend I know every one of his flaws The stubborn streak, the restless soul He burns the toast on Sunday mornings Leaves the cabinet doors half-open Says he’s listening when I’m talking But I know when he ain’t He can drive me absolutely crazy Then make me laugh when I’m mad That’s the thing about loving somebody You take the ugly with the good you have [Pre-Chorus] ‘Cause there’s passion in his actions Heat when our eyes meet A connection with affection Two hearts, one beat [Chorus] He gives me no reason to roam My come-and-get-me cyclone With a fever in his fingertips Lightning when he smiles like this He can turn one look into a flame Make me forget why I was mad in the first place I’d be crazy not to stay at home Ain’t no reason to roam Yeah, he gives me no reason to roam [Verse 2] We’ve had some nights we’d rather forget Words we wish we could take back Doors slammed hard, tears on our faces Wondering if we’d ever find our way back We’ve disagreed about money Family, plans and where to go Sometimes love ain't movie magic Sometimes love is learning how to grow But then there were those kitchen dances Two left feet and an old love song Midnight ice cream from the freezer Laughing because the spoon was gone Saturday mornings under blankets Coffee getting cold beside the bed His hand reaching out to find me Before either one of us had said [Pre-Chorus] ‘Cause there’s passion in his actions Heat when our eyes meet A connection with affection Two hearts, one beat [Chorus] He gives me no reason to roam My come-and-get-me cyclone With a fever in his fingertips Lightning when he smiles like this He can turn one look into a flame Make me forget why I was mad in the first place I’d be crazy not to stay at home Ain’t no reason to roam [Bridge 1— Romantic Comedy Moments] He leaves me little notes on mirrors I pretend that I don’t care He steals the covers every night Then pulls me closer when I glare We’ve chased each other through the grocery store Like teenagers with nowhere to be And he still makes me laugh When I’m trying my hardest not to He’s forgotten every anniversary Then panicked trying to make it right Showed up with flowers from a gas station And somehow made me smile that night He’s not perfect Lord knows I know And neither am I But every chapter that we’ve written Is a piece of our life [Bridge 2 — Naming the Flaws] He’s hard-headed I’m hard-headed Neither one of us backs down He gets quiet when he’s hurting I get louder when I’m scared somehow He overthinks every little problem I replay every word he said He wants to fix what can’t be fixed I just want him next to me instead He forgets where he left his keys Then asks me where they are I tell him, “Right beside you” And he says, “Baby, you’re a star” He drives too fast I talk too much He says I worry way too much But after all these years together I wouldn't trade a thing about us [Pre-Chorus] ‘Cause there’s passion in his actions Heat when our eyes meet A connection with affection Two hearts, one beat Through every high and every low Through every yes and every no There’s something underneath it all That keeps bringing us back home [Chorus] He gives me no reason to roam My come-and-get-me cyclone With a fever in his fingertips Lightning when he smiles like this He can turn one look into a flame No, he gives me no reason to roam And if somebody asked me What makes love survive I’d say it’s not perfection It’s choosing each other every time
