You came in laughing, rain on your sleeve Salt on your jacket, sun up your cheek We missed the last ferry, watched gulls wheel away You said, “We’ve got time,” and I wanted to stay So let the tide turn, let the old plans go Your hand in mine is the only map I know You make a spark out of ordinary days Turn every rough edge into something brave When the whole world tilts, you steady my heart My harbor, my fire, wherever we are Oh, I choose you in the wild and the calm With both feet here and the sky in our palms Maple leaves gathered in your scarf’s fold We warmed our hands on a paper cup of cocoa You hummed one note, I found the harmony And every small thing felt like a victory So let the tide turn, let the old plans go Your hand in mine is the only map I know You make a spark out of ordinary days Turn every rough edge into something brave When the whole world tilts, you steady my heart My harbor, my fire, wherever we are Oh, I choose you in the wild and the calm With both feet here and the sky in our palms If the wind gets fierce, I’ll be your shore If the road runs long, I’ll walk one more No grand promise needs a jeweled throne You are the place that makes a place home You make a spark out of ordinary days Turn every rough edge into something brave When the whole world tilts, you steady my heart My harbor, my fire, wherever we are Oh, I choose you in the wild and the calm With both feet here and the sky in our palms My harbor, my fire, wherever we are Wherever we are, I’m home with you
