[Intro] Mmm… yeah, yeah… Ooooh-woahh… Mmm-hmm… I almost let somethin’ real slip away… Damn… should’ve known better… [Verse 1] I was caught up in the paper chase Stackin’ dreams but losing you Chose the fast life over your embrace Now I see what I put you through Late nights, thinking love could wait Had my hands full, but my heart was closed Now I’m left here with what I chose [Pre-Chorus] A folded note laid on the bed Three little words, "I can’t stay" Didn’t hear you 'til you left Now silence screams your name all day [Chorus] (Deeper) Than the oceans wide (Deeper) Than the roots below (Deeper) Than the glamour and pride (Deeper) Your love is where I lie (Deeper) Than the valley’s core (Deeper) Than the cold winds blow (Deeper) Than words could describe (Deeper) I see it now with open eyes [Verse 2] Heard a knock, thought I was dreaming There you stood, tears in your eyes Said you never stopped believing But you needed space to realize Took your hands, fell to my knees Swore I’d love you endlessly... [Pre-Chorus] That folded note lay on the bed Three little words, "I can’t stay" But now your arms erase my dread And I’ll never let love slip away [Chorus] (Stronger) Than the waves that rise (Stronger) Than a storm survived (Stronger) Than the winds that cry (Stronger) Your love stands by my side (Stronger) Than the rivers flow (Stronger) Than the past I know (Stronger) Than all that I've let go (Stronger) Your love still helps me grow [Bridge] Mmm, I was blind but now I see, All the love you gave to me, Now I know what I can't replace, Forever yours, I’ll keep you safe. (Oooh yeah…) No fortune means a thing without you, No riches can erase my wrongs, (Oh no, no, no…) I was lost, but now I know, You’re the one I won’t let go. [Chorus] (Higher) Than the mountain’s peak (Higher) Than the sky that speaks (Higher) Your love lifts me unique (Higher) A love that makes me believe (Higher) Than an eagle’s flight (Higher) Than the first daylight (Higher) You’re the one I adore (Higher) I’m yours forevermore [Chorus] (Higher) Than the dreams we chase (Higher) Than the world's embrace (Higher) No one could take your place (Higher) This love I won’t erase (Higher) Than the sky so vast (Higher) Than the pain of the past (Higher) Than any love that crashed (Higher) We built something made to last [Outro] Now you’re back, I’m holdin’ tight… (Mmm, yeah…) No more lonely, sleepless nights… (Ohhh, nooo…) Won’t let go, won’t lose my way… (I swear, I swear, babe…) Love like ours is here to stay.
