Lyrics

Can I tell you something I've been holding in my chest?
You're the reason mornings don't feel heavy anymore.
I used to fall asleep just waiting for tomorrow —
now I fall asleep just hoping that you're sleeping well too.

And I know I don't say it enough,
so let me say it slow —

I'm not going anywhere.
It's you and me against the world, I swear.
For every day I miss, for every hour I need,
for every minute I feel you, every second you're with me —
forever, I'll love you.
I'm not going anywhere.

You are the proof that some people are sent, not found.
I didn't know a heart could feel this safe out loud.
And if the world forgets my name, I'll be okay —
as long as yours is the last one I get to say.

And I know I don't say it enough,
so let me say it slow —

I'm not going anywhere.
It's you and me against the world, I swear.
For every day I miss, for every hour I need,
for every minute I feel you, every second you're with me —
forever, I'll love you.
I'm not going anywhere.

God knows how much you mean to me.
God knows how far I'd go.
You're my best friend, my every morning,
the reason I believe love isn't just a word people throw.
So if you ever doubt it —
read this back, and know.

I'm not going anywhere.
It's you and me against the world, I swear.
For every day I miss, for every hour I need,
for every minute I feel you, every second you're with me —
forever, I'll love you.
I'm not going anywhere.

I'm staying.
I promise — I'm staying.

A song for someone on your mind

Use it when you want to say something tender that keeps getting lost in the busyness of the day. Your message can be brief and honest: why you appreciate them, a moment you keep remembering, or what you enjoy about the life you share. The song can sit beside your words without having to replace them.

A few words to send with it

There’s something I don’t say often enough: I’m glad you are part of my life. I love the little things that make you you, and I wanted to take a moment to tell you.

This is an original suggested dedication, not a quotation from the song.

Keep the feeling close

Some songs become part of a relationship: something to send, return to, or associate with a particular person. Listen whenever this one feels like yours.
