[Verse 1] We’ve worn out couches, changed the paint Lost some sleep and gained some gray Watched the years roll through the kitchen One ordinary day at a time There were bills we couldn’t pay on time And nights we barely said a word But somehow in the quiet I still knew exactly where you were [Pre-Chorus] We never needed perfect We just needed true [Chorus] After all these years, it’s still you Still the one I turn to Still the hand I reach for in the dark Still the calm inside my heart We’ve been bent, we’ve been bruised We’ve had days we thought we’d lose But if I had to live it all again I’d still choose you [Verse 2] We’ve seen birthdays turn to pictures Watched the kids grow way too fast Packed up rooms and kept old letters From a life that couldn’t last You know every way I stumble Every scar I try to hide And somehow you still look at me Like I’m the one you’d stand beside [Pre-Chorus] Maybe love gets quieter But that don’t make it less true [Chorus] After all these years, it’s still you Still the one I turn to Still the hand I reach for in the dark Still the calm inside my heart We’ve been bent, we’ve been bruised We’ve had days we thought we’d lose But if I had to live it all again I’d still choose you [Bridge] When the photographs are faded And the rooms don’t sound the same When we move a little slower I’ll still whisper your name [Final Chorus] After all these years, it’s still you Still the one that feels like home Still the voice I want beside me When the rest of the world is gone We’ve been bent, we’ve been bruised We’ve had nothing left to prove And if forever asked me one more time I’d still choose you [Outro] Yeah, after all these years Still you
