Falling Deeper into You

Lyrics

[Intro - spoken] Hey, it’s Luke and I love you Emerson, baby, I wrote this for you [Verse 1] I saved you a seat by the window in class You smiled like you knew I was hoping you’d ask Two paper cups cooling beside our notes Your name in the margin of everything I wrote We walk past the library after the rain You tell me your dreams, I remember each name And somehow the longest day feels brand new When every ordinary hour leads me to you [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need a perfect line I just need your hand in mine [Chorus] Emerson, you’re the best part of my day The reason all my doubts get out of the way From the campus steps to the last train home You make this crowded world feel like our own And if these college years are pages turning fast I want your name beside mine in every chapter that lasts Emerson, there’s one thing I know is true Luke is falling, falling deeper into you [Verse 2] We trade little jokes in the back of the hall You steal my hoodie when the temperature falls Your laugh catches fire before you can hide I feel twenty feet tall walking by your side Sunday at the diner, your shoulder on mine A stack of unfinished work and a strawberry shake to divide We talk about where all the highways may bend But I’m happiest here, with my favorite friend [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need a grand design Just your tomorrow next to mine [Chorus] Emerson, you’re the best part of my day The reason all my doubts get out of the way From the campus steps to the last train home You make this crowded world feel like our own And if these college years are pages turning fast I want your name beside mine in every chapter that lasts Emerson, there’s one thing I know is true Luke is falling, falling deeper into you [Bridge] When the caps are in the air And the old doors close behind I’ll still reach for you anywhere No matter what we find Let the future take its time I already know my place It’s wherever I can see That bright, familiar face [Final Chorus] Emerson, you’re the best part of my day The reason every hard road feels a little less far away From the first hello to whatever comes next You’re the answer I would write without a second guess And if these college years are pages turning fast I want your name beside mine in every chapter that lasts Emerson, let me say it plain and true I love you, baby, and I’ll keep choosing you [Outro] So here’s my heart, Emerson, simple and new Every song I write from now on starts with you
