Somehow You Became My Home

[Verse 1]
We were eighteen, two lost girls
Cheap coffee, bigger worlds
One “sit with me,” and that was it
Somehow you became my home

Snickerdoodles in the kitchen
Laughing till we couldn't breathe
Trading secrets, making promises
We were too young to know we'd keep

[Pre-Chorus]
And life kept coming, one day at a time
But somehow your hand kept finding mine

[Chorus]
You loved me through the changing seasons
Through the girl I was and who I've become
Through every door that opened
And every one that slammed shut
When I couldn't find the words
You never needed me to speak
You just stayed beside me
When I couldn't carry me

If forever has a meaning
I think maybe this is it
Not never changing
Just never letting go
No matter what life did

[Verse 2]
I watched you build a life from nothing
Little footsteps down the hall
I stood beside you dressed in white
And watched you give your heart away

There were late nights, there were long days
There were things we couldn't fix
Some chapters came with tears between them
Some came wrapped in little gifts

And through it all, I got to watch you
Become the woman you would be
While you somehow kept a place beside you
For the girl you knew in me

[Chorus]
You loved me through the changing seasons
Through the girl I was and who I've become
Through every door that opened
And every one that slammed shut
When I couldn't find the words
You never needed me to speak
You just stayed beside me
When I couldn't carry me

If forever has a meaning
I think maybe this is it
Not never changing
Just never letting go
No matter what life did

[Verse 3]
Then the world got very quiet
In a way I can't explain
Some mornings felt like mountains
Some nights forgot my name

I wasn't very good at reaching
I wasn't very good at being found
There were days I disappeared
Without ever leaving town

But you never made me earn you
Never asked me to be okay
You just left a little light on
And let me find my way

[Bridge]
Maybe that's what love looks like
When nobody calls it love
No grand declarations
No promises carved in stone

Just “I'm here” when the world gets heavy
Just knowing when to stay
Just knowing when to give me space
And loving me either way

[Final Chorus]
You loved me through the changing seasons
Through the girl I was and who I've become
Through the laughter and the silence
Through everything we'd never planned on
And if someday we are old
And our memories get hard to hold
I hope you'll know, before you forget
You were one of the best things
My life ever gave me

If forever has a meaning
I know what it is now
It's eighteen-year-old us
Still sitting side by side
Still laughing over nothing
Still choosing each other
Still somehow
Home

[Outro]
We were eighteen, two lost girls
Cheap coffee, bigger worlds
One “sit with me,” and that was it

And all these years later
You're still
My home.
