Harbor of Us

[Intro] Soft light on the kitchen clock, coffee steam rising slow A quiet recognition in the air, a promise we both know [Verse 1] You call me steady, I call you brave in ways only lovers see When doors slam like thunder, I sneak closer, whispering: stay with me Your laughter tilts the room, then sours to storm and doubt I trace the tremble in your hand, and I never look away from you [Pre-Chorus] If roads get rough and words forget their names I keep the map you drew, I call your name again [Chorus] I choose you in the morning, I choose you when the night is long When you’re a little wild, I’m still your shelter, I’m still your song Through the small frays of daily life, I’ll hold you through the doubt Love isn’t perfect or easy, but I’m here, and I’m sticking around [Verse 2] We shoehorn in apologies between laundry and last-minute bills You weather moods like weather—sun and showers, and still I kiss your forehead when the quiet breaks and you apologize first Your flaws are doors I want to open, not walls I have to cross [Pre-Chorus] If our sentences collide and silence grows a mountain tall I’ll build a bridge from breath to breath, and meet you where you fall [Chorus] I choose you in the morning, I choose you when the night is long When you’re a little wild, I’m still your shelter, I’m still your song Through the small frays of daily life, I’ll hold you through the doubt Love isn’t perfect or easy, but I’m here, and I’m sticking around [Bridge] Let the world tilt, let the engine stall, let the calendar blur We’ll rinse the dishes, prune the vines, and learn what promises were for I’ll tell you your quirks look beautiful when you’re half asleep And I’ll tell you I’m here, as steadfast as the sea [Chorus] I choose you in the morning, I choose you when the night is long When you’re a little wild, I’m still your shelter, I’m still your song Through the small frays of daily life, I’ll hold you through the doubt Love isn’t perfect or easy, but I’m here, and I’m sticking around [Outro] So(let) me stay when the words disappear, and when your eyes start to glow I'll be the patient harbor I promised to always know One heartbeat, one weathered truth: I’m yours, and you’re mine, we’ll mend and grow
