I'll Always Be Here

## **“Not Going Anywhere”** **Verse 1** Yeah, we met under Friday night lights Aprons on, closing time Didn’t know that a smile like that Would turn into this life of mine Now you’re out there fixing wings Hands all stained, chasing dreams Finger on your lip when you’re thinking hard Man, you don’t even know how cute you are **Pre-Chorus** You say, “I love you.” You say, “I’m right here.” “I ain’t going nowhere, girl.” And every time I hear **Chorus** You’re my safe place in a wild world My warm hands when it gets cold From the pier to the sandbars Right across from home You laugh that deep, from-the-belly sound And it knocks my walls straight down You say “Sain Tration” just playing around But it gets me every time When you pull me close, I let go My whole heart just falls in line If forever feels like this I’m yours and you’re mine **Verse 2** You love your music and your gadgets Talk engines like they’re magic And when we’re walking down the street You love when I hold your arm like that Two fingers in your hand And you melt, don’t even try to pretend You spoil me more than you should And I act like I don’t like it, but You made me start to love pink Girl I used to hate that shade Now it’s sunsets on our balcony And the life we’re gonna make **Pre-Chorus** You say, “I’m always here.” Baby, you prove it Every single day In the way you do it **Chorus** You’re my safe place in a loud world My calm when my mind won’t slow You smell like home, you feel like peace Like somewhere I’ve always known You laugh that deep, from-the-belly sound And I swear it heals my soul When you say you’re not going anywhere That’s when I let go If forever feels like this I don’t need control **Bridge (Stripped Down)** You brought that little girl back The one who didn’t shine Now she’s dancing in your arms Like she’s finally fine My love’s in the meals I make And the little things I buy Yours is in the way you stay And the warmth in your side Aircraft wings and ocean breeze Bare feet, sand and streetlights If this is what safe feels like I’m staying for life **Final Chorus (Big but not too big)** You’re my safe place in a wild world My “I ain’t going nowhere” From restaurant nights to runway skies Baby, you’re my answered prayer So keep laughing that crazy laugh Keep holding my hand tight If forever feels like this I don’t need another life Yeah, if forever feels like this I’m already home ---
