[Verse 1] The day that we met, I knew my future was done I saw those awnry eyes and knew you were the one My knees got weak for a moment my breath taken away I remember you were leaving but decided to stay. From that encounter my new life began and it was a rocky one, but I'd do it again We both kept a hand upon the wheel Both afraid to say what we really feel [Chorus] We were learning how to loosen our hold How to make a little room and still come home Every turn, every sorry, every start again Taught our two stubborn hearts to bend Love was never one of us giving in It was meeting in the middle, trying once again [Verse 2] We could turn a small fight into a major event always coming out of nowhere that we couldn't seem to prevent You wanted every answer; I wanted the last word Till the silence said what neither one of us had heard [Pre-Chorus] We both kept a hand upon the wheel Both afraid to say what we really feel [Chorus] We were learning how to loosen our hold How to make a little room and still come home Every turn, every sorry, every start again Taught our two stubborn hearts to bend Love was never one of us giving in It was meeting in the middle, trying once again [Verse 3] Then our daughter filled our lives with a brand-new kind of sound Your hand found mine beside her bed while morning settled down We built a table, painted rooms, learned which dreams to set aside And found the strongest promise was the life we built over time [Chorus] We were learning how to loosen our hold How to make a little room and still come home Through the years, through the changes, through the days we couldn’t plan We became a life by learning where to stand Love was never one of us giving in It was meeting in the middle, trying once again [Bridge] Small shoes by the doorway, then the grandchildren came Your laugh across the kitchen, calling each one by name I thought we’d have forever with all our fun filled days And I still reach for you but in all the quiet ways [Outro] Now I set these words to paper, one by one, at last Let the pages hold the memories that I'm sharing from our past Jen you may be gone, but what we made is holding fast And I can say your name without hiding from the ache I can say your name, and let the whole heart break (the whole heart breaks) (Whenever I say your name)
