WHY I LOVE YOU [Verse 1] You asked me why I love you Like I should have a list Like seven bullet points could somehow Explain some shit like this I met you with a fucked-up stomach Butterflies or IBS You walked in looking like the answer I didn’t know I’d asked for yet God sometimes your so fucking stupid — how can you not see that I love you because your my home and happiness — it’s in your smile and way I know we belong together — how can any man explain it? [Pre-Chorus] And maybe I don’t say it right Maybe I get lost inside my head when you ask me it — why do you love me? What is it? Well if you wanna know I guess ima have to sing it [Chorus] You feel like home when home ain’t a place it’s in your touch and voice and eyes You see my mind when I can’t see straight — you always talk me off a ledge You know my heart underneath all the noise and the flexing that I do to much. Wait do I look stupid? I may have gone a little to far I prayed for something I couldn’t name before we met and I knew you were it It’s in your eyes, it’s in my veins I don’t know how else to explain— That’s why I love you That’s why I love you If the whole world melts into shit and it’s all over and were dead — your the last thing I wanna see — your my everything — why can’t you see it? If I woke up and I lost you — I’d have a hole no one could fix That’s why I love you That’s why I love you [Verse 2] Six years Break down after breakdown in a dark closet crying alone Certain I was losing everything I ever knew You sat down there and rubbed my back even You couldn’t climb inside my brain You couldn’t make the nightmare stop even a little bit So you just stayed there next to me And held the pieces when they dropped Every morning, somehow smiling When I know that shit broke you too You didn’t save me with some movie speech You just stayed— That’s because you’re You. And I don’t think you understand How much that fucking means to me There no version of this world with me without you THATS WHY I LOVE YOU — THATS WHY I LOVE YOU [Chorus] You feel like home when home ain’t a place it’s in your touch and voice and eyes I prayed for something I couldn’t name before we met and I knew you were it It’s in your eyes, it’s in my veins I don’t know how else to explain— That’s why I love you That’s why I love you When you talk to me on the phone, long drive home — we just sit — and listen to each other breathe and laugh and do life shit — being near you makes me feel whole and complete — and did I mention that I think your smart, funny, loyal, and fucking rad — you just get it when no one does — how am I supposed to explain that? That’s why I love you That’s why I love you [Verse 3] Im so blessed that I met you — your my whole existence — and now we have a River and it’s better than I ever could have fucking imagined — With pieces of us in her face And watching you become her mom Just gave me one more reason to stay amazed that your who you are You’re better than any partner I ever could of have imagined — your my ride or die — And did I mention I appreciate that you make the house smell pine? We’ve crossed the world, but not to China just yet We’ve laughed until we couldn’t breathe And anywhere you put your hand in mine I know with every ounce of me that’s where I wanna be That’s why I’m always trying to kiss you Why your touch still melts my bones Why I wanna squeeze you way too fucking hard Like affection with no volume control You got that puzzle-piece brain That somehow locks into all my nasty holes A perfect fit except sometimes you act like you don’t know [Bridge] But yeah— I get what you mean — I’ve spent too many days in haze mind dreams I’m far from perfect and I make mistakes every single day — the biggest ones include saying things that I don’t mean and never should say And of course I wanna be your idea of a proper husband too but I’m sorry — what does that mean? Maybe it’s cool if I be the guy that simply loves you more deep than the deepest ocean and we know the ocean is pretty fucking deep [Final Chorus] You feel like home when home ain’t a place it’s in your touch and voice and eyes Remember that time at What The Fest? We stayed up all night— we talked about aging and time and how things will pass us by - I couldn’t believe that you were in my life and I held you tight like my only light — that feeling never went away— it didn’t change for me one bit — your my sun rise every day when I look at you I know I’m so lucky that your mine — SO DON’T YOU EVER QUESTION IT — I know your soul and I love it wholly - your everything THATS WHY I LOVE YOU THATS WHY I FUCKING LOVE YOU THATS WHY I LOVE YOUUUUUUU
