La Vita Nuova

We share this common ground of exit signs and walking out
And that emptiness we felt when we were not around
Each November always colder than the last one
Reflecting on the past was all I ever had but
None of that would matter
We made a point of fighting fate
Praying God would light the path to make it through the spite and hate
Look for a brighter way
Really it was night and day
The difference that your smile made since I would sleep the pain away
Yeah
But let's not focus on the past
I want to see you happy now
I want to see you laugh
For every time you weren't told you're perfect and incredible
I'll kiss you and I'll hold you and I'll put you on a pedestal
Was wishing on my birthdays for the love that I was missing
Living with an empty chest from all my bad decisions
Praying for a second chance so we could do it different
I'll never feel deserving of this blessing I've been given

Amazing after all these years
That we still saved our place right here
At home
We're home
And after all the pain and tears
We finally found our way my dear
And grown
We've grown

Everything is better when I know that you are mine
I've wanted this forever since you've looked into my eyes
Ans it's been a long time
But that feeling never changes
After all these years and phases I still see you as the greatest
I could travel all the world and still would never feel the same as
When I hold you in my arms and all the pain I feel erases
It's a place where I am whole again and always feel the safest
Every notebook you've inspired always filled up all the pages
I know
All those nights we stayed up talking on the phone
Or by the lake when we were walking all alone
You'd drive up to my house and I'd say please don't go
Without you by my side I just feel unknown

Amazing after all these years
That we still saved our place right here
At home
We're home
And after all the pain and tears
We finally found our way my dear
And grown
We've grown

Yeah
Every time I see you
I remember back in Jersey when we kissed in that gazebo
Saw perfection in your eyes I've never seen in other people
My soulmate
Always been my soulmate
Yeah

Amazing after all these years
That we still saved our place right here
At home
We're home
And after all the pain and tears
We finally found our way my dear
And grown
We've grown
