From Nothing to Forever

FROM NOTHING TO FOREVER

[Verse 1]
Two strangers on a MySpace page
A band, a tour, a different stage
You needed street teams, I raised my hand
Never knew I'd meet the man
Behind the music, behind the noise
Before the desert, before the boys
October came, and there you stood
And somehow we both knew we should

[Pre-Chorus]
We had nothing figured out
Two broken hearts, two different roads
But something pulled us through the doubt
And wouldn't let us go

[Chorus]
We came from nothing, built it all
Through every rise and every fall
From a six-by-twelve trailer
To a place we call our home
We lost our way, we found it twice
Paid for forever with the price
And after everything we've been through
I'd still choose you

[Verse 2]
You came to stay that winter cold
Then February changed the road
I packed my life into that trailer
Headed west to something greater
We built your band, we built our dreams
Nothing was ever what it seemed
Twenty-twelve, the record came
And somewhere in the fire, we changed

[Pre-Chorus]
There were nights we couldn't breathe
Words we wish we'd never said
We let go, then couldn't leave
Love was louder in the end

[Chorus]
We came from nothing, built it all
Through every rise and every fall
From a six-by-twelve trailer
To a place we call our home
We lost our way, we found it twice
Paid for forever with the price
And after everything we've been through
I'd still choose you

[Bridge]
Sedona skies, twenty-fifteen
Three boys standing in between
Quentin, Aiden, Nick beside us
Three little witnesses to remind us
That forever isn't perfect
And perfect isn't what we need
It's laughing in the middle of the night
It's talking till we fall asleep

It's dogs beneath our feet
It's you worrying about everything
It's me wanting to scream
Because somehow nothing's ever good enough
Unless it's perfect in your head

And then you make me laugh
And I remember why I'm here

[Breakdown]
Helicopter underwear
You know I'd never tell them
All the stupid things we laugh about
When nobody else is there

You and me against the world
Still crazy after all these years
We built a life from empty hands
And somehow we're still standing here

[Final Chorus]
We came from nothing, built it all
Through every rise and every fall
From a six-by-twelve trailer
To the house we dreamed about
We lost our way, we found our way
And chose each other anyway
After every scar and every breakthrough
I'd still choose you

[Outro]
From MySpace to forever
From nothing to this life
Through the music and the madness
Through the wrong and through the right

You were never easy
And neither was I
But if I had to do it all again
I'd still take that ride

I'd still pack that trailer
I'd still drive into the unknown
I'd still find you in the desert
And I'd still call you home.

[Final whispered line]
...even with the helicopter underwear.
