I Love You

Intro

Mm-mm, ooh

Soft like a secret (soft, soft)

Verse

You make the kitchen glow at half-past two

Spill of coffee, your jacket on the chair (on the chair)

A crooked smile that says you almost knew

How every small thing says you were there

You trace the map of all my left-side scars

With tender fingers, like they're proof of truth

I fold my stubborn edges into yours

And every little lie of mine becomes the proof

Pre-chorus

I used to count the reasons to walk away

But one look from you rearranges all the plans (all the plans)

You pull the fear from under my daylight

Hold up a mirror, say I finally stand

Chorus

I love you, I love you, I love you (I love you)

I love you, I love you, I love you (ooh)

Say my name like a doorway, like I'm home again

I love you, I love you, I love you (yeah)

I love you, I love you, I love you (mm-mm)

Come close, stay close, don't let the morning end

Verse

We keep a language made of inside jokes

Keys on the counter, songs without the words

You hum the chorus to my messy hopes

And teach my silence how to be heard

There’s a stubborn light behind your tired eyes

That says we’ll bend but never break in two

When the daylight asks if I believe in truth

I hand it both hands back and point to you

Pre-chorus

If the whole world turned its back on every plan

You'd still be the yes that I would understand (I would understand)

You rewrite the map with a gentle hand

Turn all my maybe's into promised lands

Chorus

I love you, I love you, I love you (I love you)

I love you, I love you, I love you (ooh)

Say my name like a doorway, like I'm home again

I love you, I love you, I love you (yeah)

I love you, I love you, I love you (mm-mm)

Come close, stay close, don't let the morning end

Bridge

When doubt creeps in, we sing it soft and low (soft and low)

Ta-ta-touch my hand and let the world slow down

We are loud like heartbeats but gentle like the rain

Say it once more — let the sound hold us now

(hold us now) (hold us now)

Chorus

I love you, I love you, I love you (I love you)

I love you, I love you, I love you (ooh)

Say my name like a doorway, like I'm home again

I love you, I love you, I love you (yeah)

I love you, I love you, I love you (mm-mm)

Come close, stay close, don't let the morning end
