Lyrics
Intro — rain sounds / distant ambience
(Soft Hmmm... Hmmm...)
Verse 1
Rain taps softly on the window tonight
Your hand finds mine and everything feels right
Funny how silence gets warmer with you
Like the whole world slows down for us two
(Hmmm... Hmmm...)
Verse 2
Some people spend their whole lives chasing stars
Following highways and old broken hearts
But I found something simple and true
Every road feels warmer next to you
Chorus
Loving you feels like breathing
Like something I never had to learn
Like the warmth of a fire in winter
Like the place my heart returns
Being with you feels familiar
Like songs I always somehow knew
Like holding close the things we treasure
Being with me... feels like being with you
(Hmmm... Hmmm...)
Bridge — Male Choir softly rises
Oh, life kept moving down the road
Seasons came and seasons go
Still every mile led me to you
Led me to you...
(Hmmm... Hmmm...)
Final Chorus
Loving you feels like breathing
Easy as rain falling outside
And if home was ever a person
I think I've had you by my side
(Soft Hmmm... Hmmm... fading with rain)
