2011, just kids with a spark

2011, just kids with a spark Didn’t know then you were writing my heart One year in and you chased your dream An hour away didn’t change a thing Late night calls and headlights fading Campus roads and hearts still steady We were young but somehow knew No matter the miles, I’d choose you Pre-Chorus From Massachusetts cold and gray To Maryland skies so far away Distance tried but love held tight We built our strength in the quiet nights Chorus Every mile led me to you Every prayer somehow came true From dorm room dreams to front porch views We built this life from “me and you” Through every state line, every tear Every leap of faith, every year God knew what our love could do Every mile led me to you Verse 2 2017, Georgia sun Augusta heat and our next begun You had that fire, that steady plan Master’s degree in your strong hands You looked at me and said, “It’s your turn” Told me I had more to learn You pushed me toward a bigger view And nursing school changed everything I knew Pre-Chorus Caps in the air, new last names Dreams getting bigger, nothing the same You built a future bold and brave And built me up every step I gave Chorus Every mile led me to you Every prayer somehow came true From textbooks late to “I do” We built this life from “me and you” First home keys in 2018 Bare walls filled with love and faith Every risk we ever knew Every mile led me to you Bridge 2021, white dress vows Tears in your eyes, I still see now 2023, a baby’s cry You holding him, and I knew why Then 2025, another son Our little world just growing strong Two small hands in yours and mine The greatest love of our lifetime You built your own company from the ground Turned hard work into solid ground You gave me the gift of staying home Made our house a heart-filled home We chase sunsets in places new Travel the world, just me and you But my favorite trip I’ll ever choose Is every step I’ve taken with you Final Chorus (Bigger) Every mile led me to you From young love to a family of two… Then three… then four beneath these stars From distant dreams to where we are Through every state line, leap, and bend You were my lover, my best friend If I could live this life anew I’d walk every mile back to you Outro 2011 feels like yesterday But forever still feels far away If this whole world fell out of view I’d still find my way… back to you
