In My Bones

In My Bones Verse 1 I knew your name back when the lights were bright Friday nights and small-town dreams I watched you play from a distance then Never knew you’d end up next to me Funny how the long way ’round finds its way When the timing’s finally right All those years just to find your hand Fittin’ perfect into mine Pre-Chorus You don’t have to say a word I can see it in your eyes You wear your heart out on your sleeve And I fall every time Chorus You make me feel safe, you make me feel wanted Loved every day, no question, no doubt I feel you in my bones, yeah you’re part of me now This is what love’s supposed to be about You stand so steady, you give so deep You take care of me like it’s all you know I was fine before, but I wasn’t whole Till I felt you in my bones Verse 2 There’s a shelf full of accolades and scars Stories carved in sweat and pride You gave the game your everything Now you give that fire to the kids you guide I wasn’t there for the glory days But I’m here for who you are The coach, the leader, the man who loves With the biggest, bravest heart Pre-Chorus You carry more than most men do But you never let it show Still you hold me like you’re holdin’ on To everything you know Chorus You make me feel safe, you make me feel wanted Loved every day, no question, no doubt I feel you in my bones, yeah you’re part of me now This is what love’s supposed to be about You stand so steady, you give so deep You take care of me like it’s all you know I was fine before, but I wasn’t whole Till I felt you in my bones Bridge (quiet, emotional) Your mama’s love still fills this room I see her smile when you say her name She held on long enough to know You wouldn’t walk this road alone again I was there at the end, I’d do it all again Every prayer, every tear we shared And I swear sometimes when you laugh like that I can feel her sayin’ I left you in good hands Soft Breakdown I never got to meet your dad But I see him when you don’t give up You’re strong and steady, just like him I know that’s where it comes from Your mom and dad are together now I feel them when I need a sign I like to think they’re lookin’ down Smilin’, walkin’ us through this life Family Promise Verse These three boys, they’re our whole wide world We’ll learn as we go, day by day Build a life with steady hands Love ’em in the small, quiet ways Let ’em see us choose each other Forever and ever, amen If they ever wonder what love is They’ll see it in how we stand Memory Verse Fort Lauderdale skies, RV nights Laughin’ till the stars burn out Maple at your heels, Dallas and Tex This house is love lived out Every meal you make, every time you check Just to make sure I’m okay You don’t miss a thing, you don’t miss a beat That’s how you love me every day Final Chorus You make me feel safe, you make me feel wanted Loved every day, no question, no doubt I feel you in my bones, yeah you’re part of me now This is what love’s supposed to be about Hand in hand, we’ll keep choosing each other Forever and ever, amen If anyone asks what true love is I’ll just point to you and them Outro When that old song comes on, we’ll still slow dance Just like we promised back then Forever and ever ain’t just a line It’s a life I’m livin’ with you
