Verse 1 I knew the shape of loving you, The quiet gravity you bring, But then I watched them reach for you Like reaching was a natural thing. I watched you catch their laughter And throw it brighter through the room, And somehow love I’d thought was full Kept finding somewhere else to bloom. Pre-Chorus There are a thousand ways to love me I never would’ve thought to count, Then I watched you love the ones I love And felt my whole heart open out. Chorus I love you deeper watching them Find their own place inside your care, For every time they call your name And know how gladly you’ll be there. You learn the language of their hearts, Every strange and lovely song— I thought I knew the depth of loving you; Then you went and proved me wrong. Verse 2 It’s how you listen to their stories Like every little word has weight, How you meet their wildest questions Like the whole wide world can wait. It’s all the things that look like nothing— A joke, a ride, a scraped-up knee— The smallest moments somehow showing More of who you are to me. Pre-Chorus And sometimes I just stand there watching, Heart too full to make a sound, Because I loved you for a thousand things Before this love was one I’d found. Chorus I love you deeper watching them Find their own place inside your care, For every time they call your name And know how gladly you’ll be there. You learn the language of their hearts, Every strange and lovely song— I thought I knew the depth of loving you; Then you went and proved me wrong. Bridge There is something in the seeing That still catches in my chest— How the man I love so deeply Gives the ones I love his best. And every time I watch you with them, Something in me starts anew— I didn’t know my heart could deepen Just from watching theirs love you. Final Chorus I love you deeper watching them, More than I knew my heart could hold, For every little piece of you I get to watch their hearts unfold. You learn the language of their lives, Then gladly sing along— I thought I knew the depth of loving you; Then you went and proved me wrong.
