You're a product of the Midwest hardy winters
And I'm a daughter of a miner in the trade
What'd you say we build a farmhouse in the country
And love and laugh and do exactly what we aim
Life hasn't gone exactly as we planned it
Both had demons that we had to face alone
But in this second breath I am determined
To chisel down this hardened heart of stone
Cause I don't want superficial
And this life ain't just a game
We'll take our bruised and battered egos
And put them both to shame
Push those thoughts of independence
And just take my love for free
I'll invest all my body
And plant both my feet
And I can be loved by thee
Mama said sometimes you gotta weather
A thousand storms before you see the setting sun
I'd do them all over if I had to
Just so I could see how deep those colors run
You had a similar story before you met me
Took a couple years to figure it all out
Healing isn't always a linear journey
But when we met it cast any trace of doubt
Cause I never knew what they meant by when they said
When you know, you know
All my trials fell to the wayside
When you called me on home
And I've never seen a bridge burn brighter
Than the one that I stepped off
Singed my hair and left me breathless
Lit that match without a second thought
It was never all for naught
Oh life is never all for naught
