(Verse 1) Yeah, I used to treat my life like a midnight highway Passing every town, never looking back in the rearview Then you caught my eye, standing in the quiet doorway And for the first time, I didn't want to run through It’s like the static in my head just drifted away Maybe it’s the way the kitchen light is hitting the floor Or maybe I’m just tired of keeping score But something shifted the moment you spoke (Chorus) You’re like a deep anchor, honey The kind that holds you steady when the tide pulls rough (Tide pulls rough) A deep anchor, darlin' You didn't clip my wings, you just showed me love Was more than enough (Verse 2) I’ve been around the block, seen the neon fade Thought I had the whole roadmap memorized Had my feelings packed away in a heavy crate But you unlocked it with a single look in your eyes And honestly? I’m relieved it’s gone Fill up my cup with this feeling again Because I’ve been homesick for a place I’ve never known And you feel like the front porch at the journey's end (Chorus) You’re like a deep anchor, honey The kind that holds you steady when the tide pulls rough (Tide pulls rough) A deep anchor, darlin' You didn't clip my wings, you just showed me love Was more than enough (Bridge) I always thought love was a thunderstorm Shaking the windows, leaving a mess behind But you’re the quiet after the weather clears A breath of fresh air that's so hard to find Yeah, yeah (no need to rush the dawn) Oh, yeah (we've got all night long) (Chorus) Deep anchor, honey (steady now) You’ve got me leaning in instead of backing away Deep anchor, darlin' (steady now) I don’t need the answers, I just want to stay Right where we are (Outro) Mmh, yeah Just let the clock run out, babe We’ve got nowhere else we need to be Deep anchor My sweet anchor
