Song Description

A tender story of love on the edge of change--told from one voice recalling both sides of the conversation that almost ended everything... but didn't.

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Sittin' on the front porch, sun settin' low,
I could feel a change comin', quiet and slow.
He walked up careful, eyes full of weight,
His voice trembled--this wasn't just fate.

(Chorus)
He said, "Darlin', we need to talk, there's somethin' on my mind,
It's been weighin' heavy, I can't leave it behind.
I've been feelin' restless, pulled another way,
But please know, my love, there's somethin' I need to say."

(Verse 2)
My heart started poundin', tryin' not to show,
He spoke of dreams he'd buried long ago.
Of miles he needed, of changes he'd chase--
But love still lingered on his face.

(Chorus)
He said, "Darlin', we need to talk, it's hard for me to say,
But I can't keep pretendin' we're fine this way.
I've got a choice to make--it tears me apart,
But know this, my love, you still own my heart."

(Bridge)
I held my breath, then I took his hand,
Said, "I may not fully understand...
But I won't walk away, I won't let this die--
You go chase your dreams... just don't say goodbye."

(instrumental break)

(Chorus)
I said, "Baby, we'll get through this, I'll stand by your side,
No matter where you wander, my love won't hide.
Sometimes we need to fly to know we belong,
But I'll be right here--you're my forever song."

(Outro Spoken)
Years later, we still sit on that porch swing,
Weathered by time, but still wearin' our rings.
'Cause when he said "we need to talk," I feared the end--
But it opened the door where love could begin.
