[Intro] Haven’t smiled since you vanished Without a trace (yeah) Not a single clue Written on your face (uh) That we’d reached the ending Before I could say The truth I’d been carrying Day after day [Hook] I want you for a lifetime, not just in my mind (yeah) Heart on the frontline, love on a tight line You came like the sunshine after the hard times Now I’m tryna make you Mine for a lifetime [Verse 1] That I am madly with this love More than words can convey (can convey) After endless nights of darkness You arrived like day (like day) When storms tossed me to and fro You were shelter when I had nowhere to go (nowhere to go) Now my heart is weathered Tough as cured leather (yeah) [Refrain] Blazing in the Texas heat, still I keep the beat (keep the beat) Runnin’ on a loop ’til we finally meet (’til we meet) Blazing in the Texas heat, dance up out the pain (out the pain) Every single step stompin’ out your name (out your name) [Verse 2] Blazing in the Texas heat Slowly missing her beat (her beat) Gone with the wind Surely this isn’t the end (not the end) As certain as morning comes You’ll return before all is done (all is done) They always do Now “they” includes you, too (includes you too) [Hook] I want you for a lifetime, not just in my mind (not just in my mind) Heart on the frontline, love on a tight line You came like the sunshine after the hard times Now I’m tryna make you Mine for a lifetime [Bridge] Clearing the path (yeah) For something that lasts (uh) Turned all my fears Into fuel, mash the gas From the lows to the highs I’ma claim what is mine (what is mine) Every rhyme, every grind Got you locked in my mind [Refrain] Blazing in the Texas heat, still I keep the beat (keep the beat) Runnin’ on a loop ’til we finally meet (’til we meet) Blazing in the Texas heat, dance up out the pain (out the pain) Every single step spellin’ out your name (out your name) [Hook] I want you for a lifetime, not just in my mind Heart on the frontline, love on a tight line You came like the sunshine after the hard times Now I’m tryna make you Mine for a lifetime
