Verse 1 Couple dates, no talk of rings Nothing more than a summer thing I went by her place to say goodbye You’d been her best friend all that time I stood out front, talkin’ it through You were inside, killin’ the mood You felt the night was turnin’ cold So you leaned in, let her hold Chorus Her porch, me leanin’ on the rail You rockin’ slow in that old chair I glanced in through the screen door Our eyes locked, just a second or more That one look, then we knew Our forever was in the next room Verse 2 Three months later, cheap seats, loud band First real date, I took your hand Your “forever friend” reached its end Some things break so others begin I didn’t plan it, didn’t rush Just stayed when it got tough Said I’m right here, if you choose Ain’t goin’ nowhere, it’s me and you Chorus Her porch, me leanin’ on the rail You rockin’ slow in that old chair I glanced in through the screen door Our eyes locked, just a second or more That one look, then we knew Our forever was in the next room Bridge You lost a friend that summer night I gained a reason to get this right Time kept rollin’, proved it true Every road still leads to you Final Chorus Her porch, me leanin’ on the rail You rockin’ slow in that old chair I glanced in through the screen door Our eyes locked, just a second or more That one look, then we knew Our forever was in the next room
