[Verse 1] I left your note by the windowpane Watched your name blur in a ribbon of rain Through a half-lit room, I counted the day Till your hand found mine and pulled me away I carried your photograph close to my chest A little proof that I’d finally found rest Past empty miles and the pull of the dark I chased the warmth of your beating heart [Pre-Chorus] And every mile brought me back around To the porch where your old boots touched ground I saw our future in the kitchen light Two tired souls making one life right [Chorus] Take me closer, where your heartbeat sleeps Where your steady promise runs this deep All the years we were too scared to hold Turned to something bright and brave to know I am falling, I am flying free When your arms make room enough for me If I lose my voice, let my whole heart prove I was made to find my way to you [Verse 2] I met your mother by the garden gate You laughed too loud and we showed up late We passed the diner with the cracked red sign You stole my coffee and I called it mine There were Sunday clocks and a worn front door Your jacket hanging where mine had hung before I learned the shape of a faithful flame When you said my tired, unguarded name [Pre-Chorus] Every heartbeat lit a hidden spark Every fear grew smaller in the dark I learned the grace of letting go When you held on and told me so [Chorus] Take me closer, where your heartbeat sleeps Where your steady promise runs this deep All the years we were too scared to hold Turned to something bright and brave to know I am falling, I am flying free When your arms make room enough for me If I lose my voice, let my whole heart prove I was made to find my way to you [Bridge] And if I return with a trembling light After all the hard-won miles tonight I’ll tell the world what I finally found Your love is the place where my feet touch ground Every lonely room, every restless sea Led me back to who you are to me [Breakdown] [Harsh scream: I CHOOSE YOU] [Final Chorus] Take me closer, where your heartbeat sleeps Where your steady promise runs this deep All the years we were too scared to hold Turned to something bright and brave to know I am falling, I am flying free When your arms make room enough for me Now I know what the long road knew Every part of me comes home to you [Outro] Every part of me comes home to you And I’ll keep choosing you
