[Intro — spoken, tired but grateful, electric guitar and soft porch piano] [Female] Long day tried to follow me home again… But you were waiting there with that soft light in your eyes like you already felt what I didn’t wanna say. Mmm. [Male] I don’t just love you… I quiet the world around you. [Verse 1] [Male] I come in with dust on my boots and the weight of the whole day on my back Phone still buzzing in my pocket like trouble trying to call me back [Female] You take one look at my face and say, “Leave that mess outside” Then your hands find my shoulders and I remember I’m alive [Male] We’ve seen midnight conversations we’ve seen mornings hard as stone [Female] We’ve been standing in the fire but somehow we built a home [Both] You don’t ask me to be perfect I don’t need some flawless plan You just pull me close enough ’til we both can understand [Pre-Chorus] [Female] That peace ain’t always a place Sometimes it’s the way we stand [Male] And after all this world takes from us we give each other who we am [Chorus] [Both] You are my bedtime lullaby Soft as a prayer at the end of the night [Female] Through all the good, through every fight [Male] I still reach for your hand each time [Both] When our whole day’s been running wild we lay our love on this tired life Baby, we calm each other’s minds You are my bedtime lullaby [Verse 2] [Female] I start talking ’bout the bad parts but you don’t let me stay there long You say, “Tell me what you’re grateful for” then smile till my hurt feels wrong [Male] We got nights we almost broke it slamming doors and crying eyes [Female] But we always find the courage to tell the truth and drop our pride [Male] You rub the knots from my silence like you know where the pain has been [Female] You turn my worries into whispers with your heartbeat on my skin [Both] I don’t know how we do it but we see through every wall You don’t love the mask I try to wear you love the heart beneath it all [Pre-Chorus] [Male] That peace ain’t always a place Sometimes it’s breathing next to you [Female] And after all this world takes from us we remind us we’re still new [Chorus] [Both] You are my bedtime lullaby Soft as a prayer at the end of the night [Male] Through all the storms and all the doubts [Female] You’re still the one I can’t live without [Both] When our whole day’s been running wild we lay our love on this tired life Baby, we calm each other’s minds You are my bedtime lullaby [Bridge — emotional lift, strings and electric guitar swell] [Male] I ain’t saying we don’t break I ain’t saying we don’t bend [Female] But you got a way of reaching me before the darkness moves back in [Female] You don’t fix me with big speeches you don’t judge me for my scars [Male] You just love me in the quiet and you hold my shaking heart [Both] If heaven ever lent us comfort it came walking side by side And we thank God every evening we get to fall into this light [Final Chorus — bigger but still tender] [Both] You are my bedtime lullaby Soft as a prayer at the end of the night [Female] Through all the years and all we’ve tried [Male] You’re still the peace where I arrive [Both] When our whole day’s been running wild we lay our love on this tired life Baby, we calm each other’s minds You are my bedtime lullaby [Outro — whispered, acoustic guitar fading] [Female] You don’t let the bad day win… [Male] We just hold on [Both] ’till we remember we’re loved. Mmm… Our bedtime lullaby.
