Verse 1 I came back with a box of things, Didn’t plan on staying long. Town still smells like cut grass and rain, Radio playing an old sad song. I traded heels for gravel roads, Thought I’d already moved on— Then you smiled like I never left, Like I’d been gone too long. Pre-Chorus Funny how the past don’t fade, It just waits its turn. Chorus You’re still here, leaning on my truck, Still know when I’m calling your bluff. Still look at me like I’m worth more Than the life I was chasing before. I ran wild, I ran fast, I ran scared, But every road led back to there— Where the lights are low and the truth feels clear. I guess what I’m saying is… You’re still here. Verse 2 Friday night on the courthouse square, Somebody’s playing George Strait. You say, “Some things don’t ever change,” Yeah, maybe that ain’t fate. I thought love was something loud, Something you had to earn— But you’ve been steady as an East Texas sky Every time I return. Pre-Chorus Maybe home ain’t just a place, Maybe it’s a burn. Chorus You’re still here, hands in your jeans, Still reading me better than me. Still make me laugh when I get lost, Still worth every leaving cost. I ran wild, I ran fast, I ran scared, But every road led back to there— Where the nights are warm and the truth feels clear. I guess what I’m saying is… You’re still here. Bridge If loving you means slowing down, I don’t mind that now. If staying means I finally choose Something real, something true. Final Chorus You’re still here, just like you said, Right where my heart always lands. If this town’s the rest of my life, I’m alright with that plan. I ran wild, I ran fast, I ran scared, But I’m done running anywhere— ‘Cause the love I want’s already here. Yeah, what I’m saying is… You’re still here. Outro Under these small-town stars tonight, I think I finally got it right.
