Quiet room

Faded light

You just laugh

And it feels right

I still remember that thrift-store shirt

You swore you hated

I wore it first

We missed the bus

Walked in the rain

Your hand in mine

Forgot my name

You drew hearts in the steamed-up glass

Talked about futures

Talked too fast

You said

"Promise me you’ll stay"

I said

"I’m already on my way"

You’re my ballad of lovesongs

Every line

Every right

Every wrong

Every stumble that led me here

Every tremble

Every fear

You’re my favorite forever-long view

Every sunrise that breaks me in two

If this life ever comes undone

You’re my ballad of lovesongs

You’re my only

My only one

We built a home out of crooked frames

Burnt toast mornings

Forgotten names

Bills on the table

Shoes by the door

You danced in the kitchen on that cold tile floor

We had fights that we didn’t deserve

Said things sharp

Cut deep with words

But you came back with your stubborn grace

Soft "I’m sorry" written on your face

You’re my ballad of lovesongs

Every line

Every right

Every wrong

Every stumble that led me here

Every tremble

Every fear

You’re my favorite forever-long view

Every sunrise that breaks me in two

If this life ever comes undone

You’re my ballad of lovesongs

You’re my only

My only one

If the sky falls down

If the ground gives way

If I’m lost in a crowd

And I don’t know my name

Just say that quiet joke

Only we understand

I’ll find my way back home

Tracing the lines of your hand (yeah)

You’re my ballad of lovesongs

Every line

Every right

Every wrong

Every heartbeat I’ve ever known

Every place that has felt like home

You’re my favorite forever-long view

Every sunrise that breaks me in two

If this life ever comes undone

You’re my ballad of lovesongs

You’re my only

My only one

Room goes dark

Still your light

Say my name

And I’m alright
