Back Where We Started

Lyrics

Intro (Rhodes, bass groove, soft guitar) Him (spoken): Remember those Flint nights? Her (laughing softly): Like they were yesterday… ⸻ Verse 1 (Him) Cruisin’ down Saginaw on a Friday night Radio playin’, everything felt right Genesee Valley, hand in hand Two young hearts making all kinds of plans Didn’t have much, but we had enough Just a couple kids learning about love Back then forever seemed so far away Funny how we’re standing here today ⸻ Verse 2 (Her) I remember you in that old GM shirt Talking big dreams while putting in work You always knew how to make me smile Even when life got hard for a while Every promise you made came true Through every road life took us through The years flew by, but one thing stayed I still get butterflies to this day ⸻ Pre-Chorus Him: We chased the horizon Her: We followed our hearts Together: Somehow forever was there from the start ⸻ Chorus Together Those Flint streets feel like yesterday Young hearts trying to find our way A million memories later, look at what we made And I’d still choose you Vegas vows and Tennessee dreams Life kept changing, love stayed the same If tomorrow started over, I’d do exactly what we do I’d still choose you ⸻ Verse 3 (Split Verse) Him: Packed up our dreams and headed south Her: Built a little life we were proud about Him: Watched our daughter spread her wings Her: Funny how fast time changes things Him: Through every season Her: Every high and low Together: One thing never changed and I hope you know ⸻ Pre-Chorus Him: Through every mile Her: Through every year Together: Through every laugh and every tear ⸻ Chorus Those Flint streets feel like yesterday Young hearts trying to find our way A million memories later, look at what we made And I’d still choose you Vegas vows and Tennessee dreams Life kept changing, love stayed the same If tomorrow started over, I’d do exactly what we do I’d still choose you ⸻ Bridge (Music drops to bass, Rhodes, finger snaps) Him: If I had to do it over Her: I’d do it all again Together: Every road led me right back To my best friend Him: Still got my heart Her: Still got my hand Together: Still got forever in our plans ⸻ Final Chorus (Harmony stacks, strings enter lightly) Those Flint streets feel like yesterday Young hearts trying to find our way A million memories later, look at what we made And I’d still choose you Vegas vows and Tennessee dreams Life kept changing, love stayed the same After all these years there’s one thing I know is true I’d still choose you I’d still choose you ⸻ Outro Together Back where we started… Still me and you… Him (ad-lib): Just like those Flint nights… Her (ad-lib): Only better now… Together: Back where we started… I’d still choose you… (fade)
