i was always late
you never afraid that we could be falling
all our friends would say
that maybe we should wait
but they can't see what's coming

and to this day when everything breaks
you are the anchor that holds me

and that is why we'll always make it
how i know your face
all the ways you move
you come in
i can read you, you're my favorite book
all the things you say
the way you shift your eyes
i never knew there was someone to make me come alive

when the days are long and the thunder with the storm can always get me crying
well you can make my bed, i'll fall into it
shattered but not lonely
cause i never knew a home
until i found your hands and when i'm weathered you come to me you're my best friend

and that is why we'll always make it
how i know your face
all the ways you move
you come in
i can read you, you're my favorite book
all the things you say
the way you shift your eyes
i never knew there was someone to make me come alive

and when we're making love
i'd give everything up for your touch

how i know your face
all the ways you move
you come in
i can read you, you're my favorite book
all the things you say
the way you shift your eyes
i never knew there was someone to make me come alive
and when you go to work
all the day i wait for you to come home
and we can have time in our little place
our little place
