[Intro] Look at you. [Verse 1] You used to say, “I’m good,” and I knew what you meant. You could carry the groceries, the bad days, the whole dang week and never ask for a hand. And I loved that about you. Still do. But lately I’ve seen something different in your eyes— like maybe being strong ain’t the only thing you wanna be tonight. So come here. You don’t have to prove a thing to me. [Pre-Chorus] If there’s more life waiting on you, baby, I hope you take it all. [Chorus] Go as far as your heart wants to. Laugh too loud, wear out those boots. Let somebody hold you when you’re tired, let yourself want what you desire. And if one day you look beside you and I’m the man you still wanna see— come as close as you wanna come... but don’t stop at me. Don’t stop at me. [Verse 2] I wanna know the woman you are when nobody needs anything. The one who takes her time getting ready just because she likes the way she looks. I wanna see you change your mind halfway there and laugh when I say, “Alright, where we going now?” I wanna be the hand on your waist you pull a little closer. The chest you fall asleep on without asking what tomorrow means. And if you need me— say it. There ain’t a thing weak about reaching for somebody who’s reaching back. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need to be your whole world. I just wanna be somewhere good in it. [Chorus] Go as far as your heart wants to. Laugh too loud, wear out those boots. Let somebody hold you when you’re tired, let yourself want what you desire. And if one day you look beside you and I’m the man you still wanna see— come as close as you wanna come... but don’t stop at me. Don’t stop at me. [Instrumental] [Bridge] I want the years. Not just a lot of ’em. Good years. The kind where I still watch you walk into a room. The kind where you still catch me— and shake your head like I oughta know better. I wanna know your fifty-year-old laugh. Your sixty-year-old hands. Whatever color your hair decides to be. And if life gives us that kind of time... I don’t wanna spend it keeping you. [brief pause] I wanna spend it still choosing you. [Final Chorus] So go as far as your heart wants to. There’s more of you still coming through. Be soft. Be stubborn. Change your mind. Need me sometimes. Take your time. And if all those roads you haven’t seen yet keep bringing your heart back next to me— baby, come close. Come all the way close. But don’t stop at me. [melody continues] I’ll love the woman standing here tonight... and every woman you still get to be. [Outro] You said you wanted something real. Something that lasts. Me too. So take my hand. Not because you have to. Because... you still want to.
