MAKE YOU MY HABIT [Verse 1 — intimate, warm] I decided to make you a habit, The first little light of my day, Before all the noise finds my window, Before all my dreams fade away. I'll wake with your name on the morning, Like sunlight remembering blue, And write one more page about loving, Just to spend another day with you. [Pre-Chorus] And if love needs a reason, I'll give it a thousand or two— But some things don't need explaining, They only need doing with you. [Chorus — big, catchy] I'll make you my habit, my habit, Like morning belongs to the sun, I'll love you until it's automatic, Till you and my heartbeat are one. Through winter, through summer, through madness, Whatever the weather may do— I'll make you my habit, my habit, And keep falling in love with you. [Post-Chorus] Again, again, again with you, Again, again— Falling in love with you. [Verse 2] I'll write when the blossoms are opening, I'll write when the branches are bare, For every man dining with silence, I'll leave him some hope on his chair. A line for the heart that was broken, A rhyme for the one left behind, To tell them that love can be practiced Till tenderness changes the mind. [Pre-Chorus] For clouds have a habit of passing, And wounds have a habit of truth, So I'll give every season a reason To carry me closer to you. [Chorus] I'll make you my habit, my habit, Like morning belongs to the sun, I'll love you until it's automatic, Till you and my heartbeat are one. Through winter, through summer, through madness, Whatever the weather may do— I'll make you my habit, my habit, And keep falling in love with you. [Verse 3 — slightly darker] And some cloudy sky may come whispering, “Promises weaken with years,” It may try to cut through our covenant, With scissors of anger and fear. But anger will knock at the doorway— I won't let it sleep in our room; I'll answer its thunder with patience And plant in its footprints a bloom. [Bridge — music opens up] What if the birds learn our chorus? What if the trees hum along? What if two people still choosing Can teach this old world a new song? No chains, no forever demanded, No heaven we have to pretend— Just choosing you every morning, Then choosing you over again. [Breakdown — almost whispered] You become what I write... I become what you move... Day after day, Love becomes what we do... [Final Chorus — full lift] So I'll make you my habit, my habit, Like oceans keep kissing the shore, I'll love you until it's automatic— Then consciously love you some more. Through every impossible season, When skies turn from golden to blue, I'll make you my habit, my habit, And keep falling in love with you. [Outro] Again, again, again with you, That's the beautiful thing we'll do— You give me a reason to write about love, I give all my love back to you. Again, again, Our beautiful loop— I write about love, And love writes you.
