[Intro – Soft, intimate]
[female voice] So… this is really happening?
[male voice] I guess it is.
[female voice] And now what?
[Verse 1]
[male voice]
I’ve imagined this a thousand ways
But never thought we’d reach this day
We spent so long pretending not to see
The little things that meant everything
[female voice]
Now you’re standing close enough
To hear my heart forget its rhythm
I thought the hardest part was saying it
But now I’m scared of what comes next
[Pre-Chorus]
What if I say too much?
What if I don’t say enough?
What if the things that make us laugh
Are things we’ll fight about someday?
[Chorus – Both, soaring]
Finally, after all this time
Your hand is reaching out for mine
We’ve been running from the truth
Now there’s nothing left to hide
Finally, after all this time
We’re standing on the other side
I don’t know where this road will lead
But I want you here with me
And if we’re scared, that’s alright
We’ll learn to love one day at a time
Finally, after all this time
We’re giving us a try
[Verse 2]
[male voice]
What if you see my darker days?
The parts of me I keep away
What if I lose my way sometimes
And hurt you without realizing?
[female voice]
I can’t promise I’ll be perfect
Or always know the words to say
But I can promise I’ll be honest
Even when I’m afraid
[Pre-Chorus]
What if we fall apart?
What if we break each other’s hearts?
But what if all these little fears
Are worth the chance of having you?
[Chorus – Both]
Finally, after all this time
Your hand is reaching out for mine
We’ve been running from the truth
Now there’s nothing left to hide
Finally, after all this time
We’re standing on the other side
I don’t know where this road will lead
But I want you here with me
And if we’re scared, that’s alright
We’ll learn to love one day at a time
Finally, after all this time
We’re giving us a try
[Bridge – Alternating voices, vulnerable]
I don’t need forever tonight
Just a reason to stay by your side
I don’t need a perfect start
Just a little faith in who we are
Maybe we’ll stumble
Maybe we’ll cry
Maybe we’ll argue
And wonder why
But if tomorrow feels uncertain
There’s one thing I know is true
I’m scared of falling…
But I’d rather fall with you
[Final Chorus – Both, emotional]
Finally, after all this time
No more running, no more lies
We don’t have to know the ending
Just to know we want to try
Finally, after all this time
Two uncertain hearts collide
And if the world keeps turning
I hope you’re still by my side
We’re not fearless, that’s alright
We’ll hold on through the changing tides
Finally, after all this time
I’m yours, if you’ll be mine
[Outro – Soft, playful]
[female voice] So… what happens now?
[male voice] I have absolutely no idea.
[female voice]…Together?
[male voice] Together.
