You Are the Reason

Verse 1

I kept a light on in the hallway

For the nights you came home late

Told myself I wasn't waiting

Then I heard your steps and forgot to breathe

Pre-Chorus

Every door you open

Every room gets brighter

Every word you say

Settles something down in me

Chorus

You are the reason I still come running

You are the answer I never saw coming

I'd cross a hundred miles of open road

To find you standing where the daylight goes

You are the reason

Verse 2

We were younger then and reckless

Chasing summer down the coast

Now I trace the lines around your laughter

And I love the way they've grown

Pre-Chorus

Every door you open

Every room gets brighter

Every word you say

Settles something down in me

Chorus

You are the reason I still come running

You are the answer I never saw coming

I'd cross a hundred miles of open road

To find you standing where the daylight goes

You are the reason

Post-Chorus

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

You are the reason

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

Bridge

I don't need a map to know this

I don't need a sign to see

If the whole world keeps on turning

You'll be turning back to me

Guitar Solo

Chorus

You are the reason I still come running

You are the answer I never saw coming

I'd cross a hundred miles of open road

To find you standing where the daylight goes

You are the reason

You are the reason

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

You are the reason
