The Only Reason Why

Versuri

[Verse 1] You leave your coffee by the window Same chipped blue cup from college days I watch you tie your hair up slowly Then turn and smile across the room my way You know the parts I keep protected The plans I fold beneath the bed You say, “Take one more step, I’ll meet you” And suddenly the doubt inside goes quiet in my head [Pre-Chorus] I used to count every way it could go wrong Now your hand makes the road feel warm [Chorus] and so baby, have I told you lately, you’re the only reason why I’m not afraid to try When my courage gets small, you’re the voice through it all Saying, “You don’t have to know the whole sky” and so baby, have I told you lately, you’re the only reason why I’m not afraid to try [Verse 2] We missed the last train home on Tuesday Shared one umbrella through the rain You laughed when both our shoes were soaked through Like losing our way could still become a beautiful thing I brought you every unfinished question You never rushed me to decide You just sat beside the silence Till I found a little faith I didn’t know I had inside [Pre-Chorus] I used to wait for a perfect sign Now your shoulder rests against mine [Chorus] and so baby, have I told you lately, you’re the only reason why I’m not afraid to try When my courage gets small, you’re the voice through it all Saying, “You don’t have to know the whole sky” and so baby, have I told you lately, you’re the only reason why I’m not afraid to try [Bridge] If tomorrow asks me for a promise I’ll give it without looking back Not because I know what waits beyond us But because you’re there wherever the path goes black [Final Chorus] and so baby, have I told you lately, you’re the only reason why I’m not afraid to try Every door, every fall, I will face it all With your fingers folded into mine and so baby, have I told you lately, you’re the only reason why I’m not afraid to try You’re the only reason why I’m not afraid to try [Outro] Your blue cup waits beside my coffee Morning finds us, side by side
