April 18, rain on the window pane
Counted the days, thirty-nine months and counting the name
We built this quiet where no one really goes
Started in secrets, turned into something I know
He’s out here grinding before the sun comes up
Fixes what’s broken, never asks for much
Holds his boy close like the world’s in his hands
Stands right beside me when I don’t understand
Pre-Chorus
Words sat heavy on the tip of my tongue
All those nights we were tangled in the dark
"Tell me what we are," I finally said
He looked at me, smiled and gently said…
Chorus
"What do you think? What do you see?
The one who stays, the one who needs you near
Not just a moment, not just a fear
Thirty-nine months, every scar and start
We’re the ones who found our way through the dark"
Verse 2
Yeah he’s from the block, carries that fire in his eyes
Works double shifts just to make sure we’re alright
Never runs away when things get hard to bear
When the world feels cold, he’s the only one there
Loves his son more than life itself, I see it clear
That same kind of love is what he gives me here
No fancy promises, no shiny lies
Just honest work and a heart that’s true and kind
Bridge
That day we asked, the answer wasn’t loud
It wasn’t written in some perfect crowd
It’s in the mornings he brings me coffee warm
It’s how he holds me when the storm is born
Thirty-nine months, and I know it’s true
We’re exactly what we grew into
Outro
April 18, still my favorite date
Hardworking hands and a heart that won’t wait
"What do you think?" – I know now what we are
My steady, my safe place, my brightest star
