February glow on a pixelated screen Thought you were a catfish, too good to be seen Model in a profile, I almost swiped past But something said stay, and make this one last We FaceTimed on the twelfth, said we’d talk for a bit Eight hours later and I wasn’t ready to quit You looked at me like I was already yours And somehow my guarded heart unlocked its doors Pre-Chorus I tried to push you away Gave you every reason not to stay But you just smiled and held your ground And turned my chaos into solid ground Chorus On 2/22, you chose me Made my favorite number our destiny Ten days in and forever began God really said, “Here’s your man.” Four years later, nothing’s changed Still the calm to my hurricane Same birthday, one year apart But you’ve been steady from the start You are everything I prayed for Everything I didn’t know I deserved And I’ll spend my whole life proving You were worth the wait, every nerve Verse 2 You came when my ego was low When my money slowed and I didn’t glow Bartending nights and doubting my worth You loved me at my uneven earth You help build my dreams when the world feels loud Work for my company, never proud You lift without asking, you show without talk You turn “someday” into steady walk Pre-Chorus You’re quiet strength, you’re patient grace You’re safety written across your face Where I’m fire and restless skies You’re peace behind my restless eyes Chorus On 2/22, you chose me Made my favorite number our destiny Ten days in and forever began God really said, “Here’s your man.” Four years later, still that spark Still your hand finding mine in the dark You don’t just say it, you show it too In everything you say and do Bridge I can see the house with your boots by the door Little feet running on hardwood floors Your laugh in the kitchen, your hand in mine A life we’re building one brick at a time You balance the Gemini in me Calm my storms so effortlessly You don’t dim me, you let me shine But somehow you still steady my mind Final Chorus (Soft) So here’s to the twelfth and the twenty-two To the boy I thought wasn’t true To the man who stayed when I tried to run To the love that feels like home begun I can’t wait to be your wife someday To carry your name in every way To build this family we talk about With love so strong there’s no more doubt You are my answered prayer My safe place, my forever there And if I had to swipe again… I’d choose you. Every. Single. Time.
