Still My Peace

Tekst utworu

[Verse 1] We signed our names in a courthouse room Your blue coat brushing my Sunday suit Two paper cups and a borrowed pen We walked out married, best friends [Pre-Chorus] We were young, still learning the map But your hand found mine, and that was that [Chorus] We married early, we grew up together Made a small home hold all kinds of weather One key, two names, and a promise we keep You were my choice then, you’re still my peace [Verse 2] First rent due on the first of June You made a feast from a can and a spoon We laughed when the kitchen sink came loose And danced in socks while the landlord snoozed [Pre-Chorus] We were young, but we showed up each day Learning how to bend, not turn away [Chorus] We married early, we grew up together Made a small home hold all kinds of weather One key, two names, and a promise we keep You were my choice then, you’re still my peace [Bridge] Now the years have softened every edge We still steal a kiss by the garden fence When I look back at that courthouse door I’d choose you young, and choose you more [Final Chorus] We married early, we grew up together Built something steady through every kind of weather One key, two names, and a promise we keep You were my first yes, you’re still my peace [Outro] Still my peace, still my home All these years, and I’m not alone
