I don't always know the right words to say to you

So I fix your collar when we're walking out the door

Pull you closer when I feel you need it

And leave the light on waiting for you until late

In all those little things that may seem like nothing

I hide everything my heart can't say out loud

'Cause sometimes a single touch can say much more than a thousand

And words left unspoken between us

I don't need a life without storms

Or days when everything is easy

I only need to know that through every storm we face, somehow

We'll always find our way back to each other

And when our hardest words break through

When pride builds a wall between us

I wanna be the one who reaches first

To find the tenderness when there's none left

And after all these years when time has passed

I still know what can make you laugh when you don't feel like smiling

I still know which side of the bed you sleep on

Just like I know where my happiness begins

With you I don't have to hide the days

When everything feels heavy and I have no strength

I can be silent and our silence

Doesn't mean that we are far apart

Ah, just sit beside me

Place your hand over mine and softly ask me are you okay

And maybe for the first time that day

I tell you honestly, no

But now that you're here I am

I don't need a life without storms or days when everything is easy

I only need to know that through every storm we face, somehow

We'll always find our way back to each other

And when our hardest words break through

When pride builds a wall between us

Finds a tenderness when there's none left

I want to be the one who reaches first

And after all these years when time has passed

I still know what can make you laugh when you don't feel like smiling

I still know which side of the bed you sleep on

Just like I know where my happiness begins

I want a thousand more ordinary mornings with you

Two cups sitting on the table, your sleepy hair

A few quiet minutes before the day pulls us apart

And takes us each in a different direction

I want to kiss you at the

all before you leave

Not because it's simply what we always do

But because even after everything

I still want you to know how much you mean to me

'Cause maybe love isn't always a grand declaration

Or a promise that it will never hurt

Maybe love is simply choosing to stay when it's hardest

When leaving would be so easy

And if you ask me what I want from life

I won't tell you 'bout stars or miracles

I want a thousand more ordinary mornings

Where I wake up beside you

and realize

I have everything I need
