STILL THE ONE I'D FIND [Intro] Come here and lean into me Let tonight move nice and slow There's something living in my heart I've waited years to let you know We've traveled farther than we dreamed When we were young and running blind And after everything we've lived You're still the one I'd find [Verse 1] I can see us young and reckless By that pickup late at night Rain falling across your shoulders Silver underneath the lights We didn't know what love would cost us Didn't know what years would bring We were two hardheaded dreamers Still learning everything You could turn a spark to thunder I could match you flame for flame We'd throw words across that porch light Then wish them all away But I learned what lived beneath it All the wounds you wouldn't show While everybody saw your anger I saw where the hurting goes [Pre-Chorus] We bent without surrender We cracked but didn't fall And every time the road divided Love outlasted it all [Chorus] You're still the one I find If I could turn back time I'd cross every broken highway Just to put your hand in mine I'd take the tears and trouble With the heaven in between Because loving you was never perfect But it's everything to me Let the years keep rolling onward Let them leave their marks behind If I had to start from nothing You're still the one I'd find [Verse 2] I know when that grin is coming Before it ever reaches your face I know when endless conversation Turns to silence in its place I know your boots bring in the outside And your things land everywhere Funny how the smallest habits Become the ones you hold most dear Some might stop at what looks broken Never wonder what's below But I've watched your heart grow softer In the places no one knows I've seen kindness through the roughness I've seen strength when you felt small And I've known the man inside you When you couldn't see him at all Then came lights against the darkness And a fear I can't forget My heart begging for tomorrow With so much left unsaid That's when forever stopped meaning Some far-off distant day It became every chance I'm given To love you while I may [Pre-Chorus] So I won't wait for someday To tell you what is true There's no life I could imagine That wouldn't ache for you [Chorus] You're still the one I'd find If I could turn back time I'd cross every broken highway Just to put your hand in mine I'd take the tears and trouble With the heaven in between Because loving you was never perfect But it's everything to me Let the years keep rolling onward Let them leave their marks behind If I had to start from nothing You're still the one I'd find [Verse 3] Now the mirror tells our ages In ways our hearts refuse to see But sometimes when you glance my way You're still that boy to me Only now your hands look weathered And life's written on your skin Every line became a chapter Of everywhere we've been When the day has worn you down You can leave your armor there You don't have to fight your battles Every minute, everywhere Come sway with me across the kitchen While an old song fills the room We'll laugh when we lose the rhythm Underneath that midnight moon And somewhere in a crowded honky-tonk When your boots begin to slide I'll look at everything behind us And thank God you're by my side [Bridge] I wish you knew the man I know When I look at you this way Not the things you wish you'd done Or the ghosts of yesterday I see someone who kept going When the weight became too much Someone whose heart speaks the loudest In the kindness of his touch We have bruised each other's feelings We've both had words we should've spared But love isn't never falling It's finding someone still standing there One day these hands may shake with age And our steps may lose their time But I'll still reach across the quiet To make sure yours is holding mine [Final Chorus] You're still the one I'd find Through every place and time I'd recognize your heart somehow And lead it back to mine I'd choose the man who's beside me And the boy you used to be I'd choose every year that changed us Into who we're meant to be When the porch light finally dims And we've reached life's finish line I won't regret the road we traveled Or wish for different signs Because if forever offered One more beginning after mine I'd go searching through a thousand lives And you'd still be the one Id find. [Outro] Maybe we'd meet beside that pickup Maybe somewhere completely new But I believe my heart would know you Before my mind ever knew And I'd walk toward you all over again Like I'd never loved before Because in any life they gave me... I'd still be looking for yours.
