[Verse 1] Stolen sandwich on a park bench afternoon One hungry heart and a dog that ran too soon You looked at me with laughter in your eyes I didn't know that was the day my life would rise [Verse 2] Four walls of a house I never let inside You sat down in the hallway, didn't try to hide Said you'd wait on the doorstep if I needed time But you walked through every doorway without crossing any line [Chorus] This is the quiet love, the kind that stays Morning coffee and rainy Saturdays Hand in hand through the longest years Building a home from all our fears This is the quiet love [Verse 3] Golden hair in the morning light by the bed All the words that we never needed to be said You learned my silences, I learned your songs Turns out the place I belong was with you all along [Chorus] This is the quiet love, the kind that stays Morning coffee and rainy Saturdays Hand in hand through the longest years Building a home from all our fears This is the quiet love [Bridge] And if they ask how we began A stolen lunch, a trembling hand Sometimes fate is just a dog running free Bringing you home to me [Final Chorus] This is the quiet love, the kind that grows Through every season that the city knows Two old souls and a sleeping friend A story that doesn't have to end This is the quiet love
