[VERSE 1] You were looking at the water, not at me, not at anything in mind, just the last light doing something only that particular hour can find. You said some ordinary nothing, the kind that fills a quiet end of day, and I lost the thread completely and forgot what I was going to say. [PRE-CHORUS] I had been in love before, but not like this… not where the whole world goes quiet and insists. [CHORUS] In the peach-sky glow, you looked like home before I knew the word. In the peach-sky glow, I heard a song I’d always almost heard. I have never once asked time to stop before… but I would trade a thousand other moments for this one, in the peach-sky glow. [VERSE 2] You laugh too loud at your own punchlines. You apologize for things you didn’t do. You carry everybody else’s heavy like you think that’s just the deal when you love someone too. I’ve memorized the sound of you sleeping, and the way you look when no one’s watching you… every version I have seen of you at your lowest is still the truest thing I’ve ever moved toward. [PRE-CHORUS] And I know what they say love’s supposed to be… a lightning strike, an earthquake, something that floors you where you stand. But honey, this is better. This is learning someone’s whole geography and choosing it. And choosing it. And choosing it again. [CHORUS] In the peach-sky glow, you looked like home before I knew the word. In the peach-sky glow, I heard a song I’d always almost heard. I have never once asked time to stop before… but I would trade a thousand other moments for this one, in the peach-sky glow. [BRIDGE] You are not my missing piece. I was not half a thing waiting to be found. You are the one who showed me what I was already capable of… which is harder to say and means so much more. Love is not the photograph. Love is not the story that we tell. Love is the Wednesday. Love is the argument and the repair, and meaning it more every time we find our way back. I don’t need the perfect word for this. I just need the evening light, and you, not knowing I’m about to say… [FINAL CHORUS] In the peach-sky glow, you looked like home before I knew the word. In the peach-sky glow, I found the truest thing I’ve ever heard. And if I live a thousand ordinary days from here, I’ll spend them all becoming someone worthy of this light… with you, in the peach-sky glow. [OUTRO] The light changed. You didn’t notice. I noticed everything. That’s how I knew.
