REST OF MY LIFE

[Verse 1]
Neon hums above the doorway
Half past ten on a Friday night
You were standing by the jukebox
Singing like the room was yours and mine
Your voice cracked on the second chorus
But you didn't look away
I sat down and bought two cheap beers
Didn't know what I was gonna say

[Verse 2]
You said your name like it was borrowed
Like you'd give it back someday
I said I come here when I'm hollow
You laughed and said you knew the way
We sang until the lights came up
Two strangers with the same cracked song
The bartender said it's closing time
And neither one of us went home

[Chorus]
And I could spend the rest of my life
Learning the map of your scars
Finding the light in your dark
Every wrong turn, every star
I could spend the rest of my life
Just watching you come back to life
Oh, I could spend the rest of my life
With you

[Verse 3]
Sunday morning on the ridgeline
You out-walked me up the trail
Pointed out a hawk above the pine trees
Said you used to be that frail
We ate sandwiches on a bench
Right next to your daddys tree
Watched the park turn to gold
You said I make the silence easy
I said you make me feel less cold

[Chorus]
And I could spend the rest of my life
Learning the map of your scars
Finding the light in your dark
Every wrong turn, every star
I could spend the rest of my life
Just watching you come back to life
Oh, I could spend the rest of my life
With you

[Verse 4]
Friday night at the Corner Bar
You beat me two to three in darts
You said your father taught you darts
Before he taught you how to leave
I watched you throw a bullseye
With a steady, quiet hand
And I thought about the way you hold
The things that no one understands

[Bridge]
I know you've been the kind of broken
That makes you check the locks at night
I know you've learned to sleep with one eye open
Just to feel like you're alright
But I'm not asking you to trust me
I'm not asking you to stay
I'm just saying if you wake up scared
I'll be here either way

[Verse 5]
Now it's midnight and we're talking
On the phone with nothing left to say
You're breathing slow against the speaker
And I'm drifting the same way
We don't hang up, we just get quieter
Two hearts on a fading line
Falling asleep in different houses
But the same room in my mind

[Chorus]
And I could spend the rest of my life
Learning the map of your scars
Finding the light in your dark
Every wrong turn, every star
I could spend the rest of my life
Just watching you come back to life
Oh, I could spend the rest of my life
With you

[Chorus]
Yeah, I could spend the rest of my life
Holding your hand in the dark
Tracing the lines of your past
Every broken, beautiful part
I could spend the rest of my life
Just watching you come back to life
Oh, I could spend the rest of my life
With you

[Outro]
Neon hums above the doorway
Half past ten on a Friday night
You're still singing by the jukebox
And I'm still sitting here tonight
And the phone is on the pillow
And your breath is soft and slow
And I could spend the rest of my life
With you
And I will
If you let me
