I’d Choose You

[Verse 1 spoken-sung, close mic]

If the world ran outta answers
And tomorrow wouldn’t show
If the road kept bending sideways
I’d still walk it just to get home
Every second feels like hours
When I’m not right where you are
But forever don’t scare me, baby
Not at all

[Pre-Chorus (quiet conviction]

I don’t need the stars to line up right
I don’t need the proof
All I ever really needed
Was one question
And the answer’s you

[Chorus (warm, steady, soulful]

If I get to choose you
Every lifetime
I’d stand beside you through it all
When you’re breaking
Know I’m coming back
Forever sounds easy
With you next to me
If I get to choose you
Yeah, I will
I’ll never walk away

[Verse 2 (confessional]

We got scars from different stories
Different ways we learned to fall
But you see me in the quiet
When I feel too small to talk
Every doubt just loses volume
When you say my name out loud
Yeah, you pull me back together
When I’m breaking down

[Pre-Chorus 2 (breathy]

Let the future stay uncertain
Let the past be what it was
I don’t need a perfect ending
Just a love that keeps choosing us

[Chorus (fuller, emotional]

If I get to choose you
Every lifetime
I’d stand beside you through it all
When you’re breaking
Know I’m coming back
Forever sounds easy
With you next to me
If I get to choose you
Yeah, I will
I’ll never walk away

[Bridge (gospel-soul, lifted]

If the years put lines on our faces
And the fire turns into light
I’ll still find you in the shadows
Every single time
Yeah, every time

[Final Chorus (big but grounded]

If I get to choose you
Every lifetime
I’d stand beside you through it all
When you’re breaking
Know I’m coming back
Forever sounds easy
With you next to me
If I get to choose you
Yeah, I will
I’ll never walk away

[Outro (soft, vow-like]

Let time do whatever it wants to do
‘Cause I already know what’s true
Every tomorrow
Every forever
I’m choosing you
Yeah, I’m choosing you

[quiet add-on, almost spoken]

And I’d say yes to forever
If it’s with you
