(Verse 1)
I saw the winter fading from the avenue
Streetlights dancing softly next to you
Your fingers drawing stories on my skin
Like every broken part could breathe again
And all the noise that used to fill my head
Turned into quiet when you leaned instead
Against my shoulder in the pouring rain
Somehow your smile made beauty from the pain
(Pre-Chorus)
If forever is a place
Then I found it in your gaze
(Chorus)
‘Cause every time you laugh, the whole world slows
Like rivers learning where the ocean goes
And if tomorrow disappears tonight
I’d still be rich just holding you this tight
You turned my lonely into something gold
A fire that keeps me warm when I grow old
And every heartbeat whispers something true
My favorite place on earth is next to you
(Verse 2)
Coffee stains and midnight polaroids
Tiny moments other people avoid
But I would frame them all inside my mind
‘Cause loving you rewrote the way I find
The meaning hidden in the smallest things
Like how your voice can calm my wandering
Or how your sleepy eyes before the dawn
Can make a broken man still carry on
(Pre-Chorus)
If forever had a sound
It’d be your name falling from my mouth
(Chorus)
‘Cause every time you laugh, the whole world slows
Like rivers learning where the ocean goes
And if tomorrow disappears tonight
I’d still be rich just holding you this tight
You turned my lonely into something gold
A fire that keeps me warm when I grow old
And every heartbeat whispers something true
My favorite place on earth is next to you
(Bridge)
Maybe we were written in the stars before
Two scattered souls somehow becoming more
And even when the seasons change their hue
I’ll keep choosing every version of you
(Final Chorus)
So let the city fade into the dark
Your love already lit up every part
And if this life is just a passing view
Then let me spend every sunset loving you
You turned my lonely into something gold
A story even time cannot withhold
And every heartbeat whispers something true
My favorite place on earth
