Lyrics

Two whole years since we lost our way
Didn’t know we’d make it, still we tried anyway
Tears ran wild and the hurt ran deep
Love was the last thing I thought we would keep

Now time’s moved on while we’re tryin’ to rebuild
Road’s been long and hard, carryin’ all this guilt
Somethin’ in us held on, guess a little worked
Even though the scars still talk ’bout the lessons learned

’Cause time catches up, but it don’t write the end
Puts lines on our faces, it can break, it can bend
But here we are standin’, still choosin’ us
Provin’ pain ain’t stronger than a stubborn kind of love
Yeah, time catches up, and it’s been pretty rough
But somehow we’re still here, and somehow that’s enough

We said things we regret, we slept back to back
Counted every reason just to never come back
We stumbled through days we were scared wouldn’t last
Two tired hearts learnin’ how to forgive the past

Now the cracks in the walls show the truth we’ve seen
We’re a little less shiny, but we’re way more real
If you’re still reachin’ out to hold my hand
Then maybe this was always part of the plan

’Cause time catches up, but it don’t write the end
Puts lines on our faces, it can break, it can bend
But here we are standin’, still choosin’ us
Provin’ pain ain’t stronger than a stubborn kind of love
Yeah, time catches up, and it’s been pretty rough
But somehow we’re still here, and somehow that’s enough

Maybe love’s not fireworks, maybe it’s the rain
Two fools on a front porch learnin’ how to stay
Maybe all the breakin’ was makin’ us tough
So we’d know what it means when we say “this is love”

Time catches up, but it don’t write the end
We rewrite the story every day we choose again
So hold me a little closer when the nights get tough
If time’s gonna chase us, we’ll outrun it with love
Yeah, time catches up, we’ve both had enough
But somehow we’re still here… and somehow that’s enough
