The only one I’ve ever known
Where I can heal my broken bones
And lay down all the stones they’ve thrown
You feel like coming home
Your eyes are my safe house, my refuge
Your voice is my favorite song
Singing my soul softly to sleep
In your arms I always belong
You turned on the lights in all my rooms
And painted my gray skies blue
You make me wanna be the air you breathe
I wanna be the ink in your tattoo
Come what may, come whatever
It’ll only get better
My sun will always rise and set for you
Even when I wanna quit
You’re what makes it worth it
My sun will always rise and set for you
You make me feel like coming home
The only one I’ve ever known
Where I can heal my broken bones
And lay down all the stones they’ve thrown
You feel like coming home
I wanna make you feel like coming home
The one your heart’s always known
Let me heal your broken bones
And take on all the stones they’ve thrown
Let my arms be your home”
I played the last chord progression and finally opened my eyes. When I did, I saw McKenzie looking at me, her gorgeous face streaked with tears.
My chest was tight as I returned her gaze. There was more to say, but I didn’t know how.
