Ninety-Five Percent Today

Lyrics

[Annunciate the words properly] [Intro — distant heartbeat, warm vocals] Mmm, yeah… After all this time… After everything we’ve been through… Baby, it’s still you. [Verse 1 — intimate, rhythmic] I love the way you laugh at little things, The way you dance like nobody can see. Those silly little outfits that you wear, The way you make me smile without a care. I love your heart, though it’s been through hell, The way you find a smile despite the pain. And even when you’re running out of light, I’d give you all of mine to make you shine. [Pre-Chorus — warm bass enters, melody rising] And I know some days we fall apart, Say things that leave a mark. But when the noise fades and the night is through, There’s still nobody I’d rather run to. [Chorus — bass drop, emotional] It’s still you, After everything we’ve been through. Even when the skies turn blue, Every road leads back to you. Oh, Skye, you got my heart on fire, You’re my love and my desire. When the whole world fades from view, I’ll still be falling into you. It’s still us, Even when the days get tough. If I had a million lives to choose, I’d spend every one loving you. [DROP — bright synths] You, you, you… it’s always you! Us, us, us… it’s still us two! Through the highs, through the lows, You’re the one my heart still choose! Oh-oh-oh, it’s still you… Oh-oh-oh, I’d still choose you… [Verse 2 — deeper, more vulnerable] I know your past has taught your heart to hide, And sometimes fear gets louder than what’s right. I wish my love could make those doubts disappear, But I’ll keep showing up, year after year. And when you’re tired, barely holding on, You don’t have to pretend that you’re so strong. If all you’ve got is five percent today, I’ll bring the other ninety-five your way. [Pre-Chorus — building emotion] And when we’re busy, when the days run long, I miss you even when I’m being strong. [Chorus — drop, fuller harmonies] It’s still you, After everything we’ve been through. Even when the skies turn blue, Every road leads back to you. Oh, Skye, you got my heart on fire, You’re my love and my desire. When the whole world fades from view, I’ll still be falling into you. It’s still us, Even when the days get tough. If I had a million lives to choose, I’d spend every one loving you. [Bridge ] Skye, I don’t need you perfect, I just need you real, I want to know the things you never say you feel. And I know I can’t fix the hurt of yesterday, But I can love you better in a million little ways. When we’re old and all our dancing days are through, When the mirror shows the years we’ve made it through, I’ll kiss your forehead, and whisper, “Look at us two,” And thank the stars I got to grow old with you. [Final Build — emotional rise, layered vocals] If I could go back to the day we met, Knowing every tear we haven’t cried yet, I’d still reach out, I’d still say, “I do,” ’Cause every version of my life wants you. [FINAL CHORUS / DROP — singalong] It’s still you, After everything we’ve been through. Even when the skies turn blue, Every road leads back to you. Oh, Skye, you got my heart on fire, You’re my love and my desire. When the whole world fades from view, I’ll still be falling into you. It’s still us, Even when the days get tough. If I had a million lives to choose, I’d spend every one loving you. You, you, you… it’s always you! Us, us, us… it’s still us two! Every heartbeat, every truth, Skye, I’m still in love with you! [Outro — bass fades,] And when the music fades away, When we’ve danced our final day, If there’s one thing I know is true… I didn’t just fall in love with you. I found my home in you.
