The Lives We Leave Behind

Its funny how you find
The things you don't expect when fate decides
When I was finally moving forward
From memories I held too tight
Like a whirlwind she swept me up in
Surrounded by dancing lights
I was captured by her confidence and falling in plain sight
Two hours turned to two years in the blink of an eye
I know how bright the light is
With every day I call her mine

In a future life
See you in a white dress across the aisle
We'd live out that front porch dream
A movie scene of the best days of our lives
If a past of walking through hellfire
Makes where we are now feel so right
I'd do it all over and over again
If it meant choosing you every time

Through all the lives we leave behind
Someway somehow the stars aligned
Through passing days and changing ways
You are my flame burning inside
I don't wanna spend another day without you by my side
After all the lives we left behind
We are the ones we both got right

I'm done running scared
And I know there's things that we both fear
But I promise I'll be your anchor
The one thing that stays familiar
That you call home
Like the tattoos on your arm
That remind me of where we come from
What we knew all along

All the lives we leave behind
Somehow someway the stars aligned
Passing days and changing ways
You are my flame
And I don't wanna spend another day without you by my side
Cause we are the ones we both got right

Through all the lives we leave behind
Someway somehow the stars aligned
Through passing days and changing ways
You are my flame burning inside
I don't wanna spend another day without you by my side
After all the lives we left behind
We are the ones we both got right
