[Intro]
Two hearts carve letters in the rain on a waiting window pane
Softly, they spell your name and mine, till the distance fades away
[Verse 1]
We learned to measure time by phone-light smiles and midnight calls
Every breath a bridge across the miles that kept us from breaking at all
You kept your promise in a coffee mug, I kept mine in a quiet vow
That the farthest stretch of night would bend when we spoke our truth out loud
[Chorus]
Hold my gaze a little longer, love, till the doubt dissolves in dawn
Let my words be the harbor where you find the home you’ve been chasing for
If the ocean roars between us, we’ll row with hands tied, yet strong
Because choosing you is choosing us, over and over, come what may come
[Verse 2]
We traded small gestures like notes in the laundry and signs on the fridge
A laugh in a hallway, a shared recipe, a memory under a bridge
Heartbeats stitched with conversations that learned to forgive and forgive
And every quiet moment tells us what we already know: we’re worth the risk to give
[Pre-Chorus]
When the map feels broken, your voice is the line that brings me home
When fear starts to knock, your patience is the light I’ve known
[Chorus]
Hold my gaze a little longer, love, till the doubt dissolves in dawn
Let my words be the harbor where you find the home you’ve been chasing for
If the ocean roars between us, we’ll row with hands tied, yet strong
Because choosing you is choosing us, over and over, come what may come
[Bridge]
We mend the heartbreak with a breath shared in the quiet of a kitchen
A promise inked in warm tea steam, a future learned in listening
[Chorus]
Hold my gaze a little longer, love, till the doubt dissolves in dawn
Let my words be the harbor where you find the home you’ve been chasing for
If the ocean roars between us, we’ll row with hands tied, yet strong
Because choosing you is choosing us, over and over, come what may come
[Outro]
So here we stand, not perfect, but perfectly near
Choosing you again, again, until we’re finally clear
