I Choose You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Hussein, you know the little things you do The way you save the last word just to make me laugh A paper cup beside my morning book Your hand finding mine beneath the tablecloth [Pre-Chorus] I used to keep my heart behind a door Then you came patient, asking nothing more Now every quiet room feels new When I turn and find my way to you [Chorus] Hussein, I choose you in the ordinary On tired afternoons and Sundays at the bakery If the whole world changes shape tonight I’ll still be standing by your side Hussein, your name is home to me A steady kind of love I never knew I’d need No grand promise has to prove what’s true My heart keeps choosing you [Verse 2] You know the scar beside my left knee The songs I skip, the tea I drink too sweet You hold the pieces I forget to carry And make a crowded day feel calm and temporary [Pre-Chorus] When doubt comes tapping at the window frame You pull me close and call me by my name No perfect life, no polished view Just honest days made beautiful with you [Chorus] Hussein, I choose you in the ordinary On tired afternoons and Sundays at the bakery If the whole world changes shape tonight I’ll still be standing by your side Hussein, your name is home to me A steady kind of love I never knew I’d need No grand promise has to prove what’s true My heart keeps choosing you [Bridge] Let the years leave silver in our hair Let the seasons rearrange the chairs I’ll learn each version of your face And love you through the changing pace [Final Chorus] Hussein, I choose you in the ordinary Through every little worry, every borrowed memory If tomorrow asks me where I’ll be I’ll be wherever you are with me Hussein, your name is home to me The safest kind of wild, the sweetest certainty No grand promise has to prove what’s true My heart keeps choosing you [Outro] Hussein, I choose you Every day, I choose you
