Title: One Flesh (Late Night Vows) [Intro – ambient, spoken / half-sung] Yeah… Lights low, house quiet World still loud in my head though But when I look at you— Everything settles [Verse 1] I used to love like it was all about me Chasing my reflection, calling that devotion But love ain’t loud, love don’t flex Love stays steady when the nights get heavy I see the weight that you carry in silence You pour yourself out, still asking for nothing I don’t wanna lead with ego or pride I wanna lay my life down, stand by your side If I’m strong, it’s so you can rest If I’m building, it’s so we’re blessed I don’t need control, don’t need the throne I just wanna make sure you’re never alone [Chorus] I wanna love you better than yesterday Hold you closer, not push you away If I’m winning, it’s us on display One heart, one life, yeah we that way I don’t love you just for how it feels I love you for what I’m called to give If I protect you, I protect myself ‘Cause your life and mine—yeah they intertwined [Verse 2] Two souls bound, not just rings on hands Every step I take, I’m thinking “we,” not “I am” When you’re hurting, I feel it too Your peace my mission, your joy my truth I don’t wanna speak sharp when I’m stressed Don’t wanna let frustration say what love shouldn’t I wanna be gentle when the day’s been long Be the safest place when the world goes wrong We laugh in the kitchen, nothing expensive Just time together, that’s my richest I don’t want distance, I don’t want drift I wanna enjoy this life—every moment a gift [Chorus] I wanna love you better than yesterday Hold you closer, not push you away If I’m winning, it’s us on display One heart, one life, yeah we that way I don’t love you just for how it feels I love you for what I’m called to give If I protect you, I protect myself ‘Cause your life and mine—yeah they intertwined [Bridge – stripped, emotional] If I raise my voice, let it be in prayer If I lead, let it be with care No harsh words, no careless space Just patience written all over my face I don’t wanna love you halfway I don’t wanna give you what’s left I wanna give you my whole life Every breath [Verse 3] When the world gets cold, I’ll be your cover When faith feels thin, I’ll still believe for us I don’t promise perfect, I promise present Every scar, every season, I’m still invested We’re one flesh, yeah that’s deeper than touch That’s loyalty, forgiveness, showing up I don’t just want you, I choose you daily Not out of duty—but love that’s sacred If my life tells a story someday Let it say I loved you the right way Not loud for the crowd, quiet and true Every part of me committed to you [Final Chorus – fuller, atmospheric] I wanna love you better than yesterday Hold you closer, not push you away If I’m winning, it’s us on display One heart, one life, yeah we that way I don’t love you just for how it feels I love you for what I’m called to give If I protect you, I protect myself ‘Cause your life and mine—yeah they intertwined [Outro – fading, reflective] Late nights still But love like this don’t fade It deepens Yeah… One flesh Always
