All the Way. lyrics by #DrPatty2e
Verse 1 She lived only on the edges, alone and unafraid, Emotions folded like a letter, never sent, never made. She couldn’t say just how she felt, words seeming like a weight, So she left them there in glances, in doors held open late. She was fluent in distance, and made art of retreat, Though when he offered enough safety, it allowed her to reseat. And he gently met defenses, with commentary kind, So she opened up her heart a bit and let it change her mind. Chorus But she couldn’t say "I love you," so she learned to sway, To the rhythm of closeness, to the music of halfway. In a thousand ways that words couldn’t convey, She couldn’t say "I love you," so she liked him all the way. Verse 2 She’d start to say more slowly, not with words that held her back, A cup of coffee at his bedside, or a smile to cut some slack Her language lived in simpleness, the words were real and rare, A hand upon his shoulder when he needed someone there. She couldn't say “I love you,” the words too thick to flow, So instead, she’d stay beside him, hoping somehow he would know. In every look she gave him, in each quiet, gentle way, She told him what her heart felt, though she never could quite say. Chorus She couldn’t say "I love you," so she wove it in air, In the silence, in the spaces, she put it everywhere. Between his laughter and the things they’d betray, She couldn’t say "I love you," so she liked him all the way. Bridge And there, in the spaces, she planted her song, A wordless devotion where she quietly belonged. Maybe he knew by the way she’d stay, In the lull between moments, she liked him all the way. Chorus She couldn’t say "I love you," the words would betray, So she built him a language of the things she couldn’t say. In the unspoken bond, in the lines left to stray, She couldn’t say "I love you," so she liked him all the way. Outro In her silence, a promise, in her glance, a vow, A love with little language, an echo somehow. She couldn’t say "I love you," so in her own way, She built him a world where she’d liked him all the way. She couldn't say I love you... So she liked him all the way (Instrumental outro)
