[Verse 1] You were late by ten I was early by five Awkward at the table Trying not to meet your eyes You laughed at your own joke I missed my sip of wine Two strangers on a Friday Running out of clever lines [Chorus] Who knew a blind date Would turn into this From stumbles and small talk To a lifetime I’d miss If I had walked out Into some other night I’d never hold your hand In this borrowed light Still as in love as the day we said “I do” Thirty years from that night with you [Verse 2] We found that little basement Bodies pressed and loud Strobe cutting through the sweat and the crowd You pulled me to the center Dared me just to move First time I heard my heartbeat keep up with you [Chorus] Who knew a dark room Would light up our way Spinning on a floor Till they turned on the day If I had stayed home If I had turned left I’d never taste your kiss On your whiskey breath Still as in love as the day we said “I do” Thirty years from that night with you [Bridge] There were cribs and midnight crying Cheap rings Busted tires Long drives Near-crying You holding my coat in the hospital hall Our kid’s first backpack way too small We missed flights Changed plans Chased storms on a map Argued over nothing Always circling back Watched them leave our driveway with the trunk piled high Two old fools in the window Trying not to cry (oh) [Verse 3] Now the pictures fade But the edges stay sharp Laugh lines deeper But you’re the same in my heart You still steal my fries Still hog all the sheets We still dance in the kitchen on unsteady feet [Chorus] Who knew a blind date Would turn into this A house full of stories In every cupboard and dish If I could go back To that first unsure sight I’d trip on every word Just to find you that night Still as in love as the day we said “I do” Thirty years from that night with you [Chorus] Who knew a slow song In some forgotten club Would echo through decades Into this fierce Quiet love If there’s another life And another first view I’ll be nervous and laughing Waiting right there for you Still as in love as the day we said “I do” Thirty years from that night with you [Outro] So turn down the TV Turn up that old tune Put your head on my shoulder Like some honeymoon Every wrinkle Every mile Every tear we’ve been through I’d live it all again For one more first dance with you
