I Choose You in the Quiet

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You leave your blue mug by the sink Keys in the bowl, coat on the chair I know the little ways you think Before you say you're even there [Pre-Chorus] And every ordinary room Turns into somewhere I can breathe When you look over and make space For all the unfinished parts of me [Chorus] I choose you in the quiet I choose you when the plans fall through When the whole day asks for more than we have I still come home to you No perfect line could say it No photograph could hold this truth I choose you in the quiet And every bright thing after you [Verse 2] You read the last page first sometimes Then laugh and tell me how it ends You call me out on my worst lines Then stay until the sharpness bends [Pre-Chorus] If time should change the shape of us We'll learn the new familiar way I'll meet you in each season And love the person you become each day [Chorus] I choose you in the quiet I choose you when the plans fall through When the whole day asks for more than we have I still come home to you No perfect line could say it No photograph could hold this truth I choose you in the quiet And every bright thing after you [Bridge] So let the years leave marks on us Let silver find us in our hair I'll keep the place beside my heart And find you waiting there [Final Chorus] I choose you in the quiet I choose you when the plans fall through When the whole world asks for more than we have I still come home to you No perfect line could say it No photograph could hold this truth I choose you in the quiet And every bright thing after you [Outro] Every bright thing after you
