The Long Way to Us

Verse 1 We’ve been talking in circles for years Coffee cups, late nights, learning your heart I knew your laugh before I knew your touch I knew your soul, but never this part Five years of almosts, timing off-beat Standing so close but never crossing the street Now we’re talking like something’s changed And I feel my whole world rearrange Pre-Chorus It’s funny how the safest place Can suddenly feel brand new Like the past was just a doorway Leading me to you Chorus I’m falling deeper every day In ways I didn’t know I could It’s not the rush—it’s how you stay It’s how you always understood We finally found our way somehow Through all the time, through all the truth I’m falling deeper every day And I’m falling right into you Verse 2 I’ve seen you tired, I’ve seen you strong Seen you hold on when things went wrong You’ve been my constant, my familiar ground But love sounds different now Your hand fits mine like it always knew Like it’s been waiting just to choose This isn’t new, but it’s not the same It’s fire born from an old flame Pre-Chorus We’re not pretending we don’t know What this could cost or give But I’ve never felt more certain This is how I want to live Chorus I’m falling deeper every day Not faster—just more true Every look, every word you say Feels like a promise coming through We finally said the words out loud We finally let our hearts be brave I’m falling deeper every day And I don’t want to be saved Bridge If love is choosing, then I choose you Not the dream, not the thrill—just the truth We grew our roots before we grew our wings Now look at what that patience brings No fear in starting where we stand No fear in reaching for your hand If this is us beginning late Then I’m in love with our timing, our fate Final Chorus I’m falling deeper every day And it feels like coming home Every doubt just fades away When I remember I’m not alone We didn’t rush, we didn’t run We let the long way lead us through I’m falling deeper every day And I’m falling in love with you Outro Five years to learn your heart by name One brave step to change everything And every day from here on out I’ll keep choosing you
