lyrics

I was afraid we’d missed our moment
Sad to be passing ships
On a long list of high school regrets
It’s vivid the image of walking away
With the sinking sense that to separate
Would be some cosmic mistake

If only I knew
If only I knew

You came back to town at the perfect moment
Each of us in need of a genuine friend
You called me spellbinding
Surprised me with kindness
thought you must be too good to be true

But somehow I knew
Somehow I knew

and I’m often finding myself still in awe
Of the love you give without condition
Of your wit and the gift of your brain, your enduring patience
To me you’re the promise of spring
proof of the beauty in living
and even when I wasn’t sure I was worthy
you never wavered a day

Cause Somehow you knew
You always knew

And I know that we’ve tested our limits
And chose not to run
but listen and forgive
Because love's not a fleeting hunger
And love's not a fear-driven need
But a promise to grow together
To lift up and cherish each other
To cry and rely on
To heal and to die but first get out of life all that we can squeeze

and I believe in the dream that brought us here
That our day is blessed by Emily
And everyone is here to see
What we always knew
Somehow
Had to be true
