Our life

I’D CHOOSE YOU AGAIN

[Verse 1]
Three in the morning, a message sent,
Neither of us knew what it really meant.
Two strangers talking through a glowing screen,
You were about to become everything to me.

Then came our first date, nervous smiles,
Laughing at Grown Ups for a little while.
I couldn’t see the road that waited ahead,
Or know I’d marry the girl I just met.

[Pre-Chorus]
If I could go back knowing what I know,
Every mountain we’d climb, every valley we’d go through,
There’s only one thing that I would change—
I’d love you sooner, Michelle.

[Chorus]
I’d choose you again,
If I knew how hard this life would get.
I’d choose you again,
Knowing every tear we haven’t cried yet.

I’d take the hard years with the good,
I’d hold you tighter when I should.
If I had one life or a thousand to live,
I’d spend every one finding you again.

If you asked me where forever begins…
I’d choose you again.

[Verse 2]
July twenty-first, twenty-thirteen,
You stood beside me and gave your life to me.
We promised forever, but we couldn’t have known
How much it takes to build a family and a home.

Then babies grew and the years flew by,
Little hands got bigger right before our eyes.
Pictures on the walls became yesterday,
And somehow we got older along the way.

[Pre-Chorus]
We’ve had doors slam, we’ve had sleepless nights,
We’ve lost our way and learned to make it right.
But after everything we’ve made it through,
I still come home to you.

[Chorus]
I’d choose you again,
If I knew how hard this life would get.
I’d choose you again,
Knowing every tear we haven’t cried yet.

I’d take the hard years with the good,
I’d hold you tighter when I should.
If I had one life or a thousand to live,
I’d spend every one finding you again.

If you asked me where forever begins…
I’d choose you again.

[Bridge — stripped down]
You knew me before the weight of the world
Put all these lines upon my face.
You knew the man I used to be,
And loved the man who took his place.

You saw me strong, you saw me scared,
You stayed when life was unfair.
And there’s something I finally understand—

Nobody else remembers
Our babies quite that small.
Nobody else remembers
The beginning of it all.

You carry half my memories,
I carry half of yours.
And that’s what forever means to me
More than it ever did before.

[Build]
So when we’re old
And the house gets quiet,
And our kids have lives of their own,
I hope I wake up next to you
And know I made it home.

[Final Chorus]
I’d choose you again,
Even knowing where the road would bend.
I’d choose you again,
Every beginning, every end.

Give me the laughter, give me the tears,
Give me every one of these beautiful years.
Give me the woman I married back then,
And the woman you’ve grown to be since.

If I had one life or a thousand to live,
I’d spend every one finding you again.

And when my last day finally comes,
If there’s one thing I’m allowed to do…

[Music drops]
Let me go back to three A.M.

And find my way…

[Pause]

To you.

[Final Refrain]
I’d send that message again.
I’d take that first date again.
I’d say “I do” again.

I’d take the good.
I’d take the bad.
I’d take every single year we’ve had.

Because every road
That made me who I am…

Led me to you.

[Outro]
So if forever gave me
One more chance to begin…

Michelle…

I’d choose you again.
