Writing our forever

Verse 1

We were just kids at a church camp

Twelve years old, too young to know

Or maybe deep down we both knew

There was something we'd never outgrow

We always knew there was a reason

That God had crossed our paths

But life took us in different directions

And we lost what we once had

Pre-Chorus

Then twenty-one years came calling

And there you were again

Like a prayer I didn't know I'd whispered

Like a story starting over again

Chorus

You were always my somewhere

My safe place in the storm

The missing piece I never knew

Could make this heart feel whole

You hold me close, you sing me to sleep

And I forget the world outside

If I had a thousand lifetimes

I'd still want you by my side

We may not have been each other's first

But, baby, we're the ones who last

Maybe God was writing our forever

Long before He brought us back

Verse 2

You asked me once, then asked again

Like once just wasn't quite enough

And I'd say yes a thousand times

To this crazy kind of love

I miss the way you used to touch me

The way you'd pull me close

I miss the man who first said forever

And the love we used to know

I still see him when you look at me

I know he's somewhere in there

And I'd give anything to feel again

That magic we used to share

Pre-Chorus 2

I don't want a different love

I don't want somebody new

I just want the man I fell for

And to find my way back to you

Chorus

You were always my somewhere

My safe place in the storm

The missing piece I never knew

Could make this heart feel whole

You hold me close, you sing me to sleep

And I forget the world outside

If I had a thousand lifetimes

I'd still want you by my side

We may not have been each other's first

But, baby, we're the ones who last

Maybe God was writing our forever

Long before He brought us back

Bridge

At twelve years old, we somehow knew

God had written me for you

But life took roads we couldn't see

And somewhere we lost you and me

Twenty-one years, so much life passed by

But God wasn't finished with our lives

He brought you back, right where you belong

Like He'd been waiting all along

And maybe we've gotten lost again

Somewhere between now and then

But I still see the boy I knew

And I'm still that girl who fell for you

So take my hand, let's start somehow

Let's find the love we made back then

I don't need a perfect fairytale

I just want us back again

Chorus

You're my always, you're my home

The only place I wanna go

My other half, my heart, my flame

I'd choose you in every life again

You're worth the work, the years, the tears

I still want forever here

We weren't each other's first goodbye

But you're my last, my forever, my life

Outro

Twelve years old, we already knew

God had a plan for me and you

Life took us apart, but brought us home

And I still believe we're where we belong

So hold me close and don't let go

We've still got a lifetime left to grow

God brought us back, and I still believe

There's an us worth fighting to keep
