lyrics

Each morning time I turn to my right
And although the curtains keep out most of the light
I catch a glimpse and thank the stars I made it through
The bad thoughts, nightmares, and stormy skies
They all dissipate the moment that you open your eyes
And I still can’t wrap my mind around that I got you

I’ve toiled stumbled, fallen, tumbled,
But sweet mercy spared me yet
After all this weaving, dreaming, leaving,
I’ll make you a bet:
I’ll be with you, rain or shine-
I beat much greater odds making you mine.

I was barely hanging on, a ghost left half alive
I might have survived but couldn’t see the point in trying
It might’ve been too later if you delayed a single moment more
And I know you don’t care too much for giving things names
But the Stars, or the Universe, or something like Fate
Pulled you from “before” and brought you to my door

I’ve toiled stumbled, fallen, tumbled,
But sweet mercy spared me yet
After all this weaving, dreaming, leaving,
I’ll make you a bet:
I’ll be with you, rain or shine-
I beat much greater odds making you mine.
