09 · Not Even Forever

You cook dinner, I clean up

You make me laugh when I've had enough

You laugh before your punchline lands

I roll my eyes and take your hand


You quote the movies word for word

I sing the lyrics I've misheard

You're always warm, my feet are ice

You pull me close and don't think twice


We're a little out of sync

But somehow perfectly in tune

And after all these years

I still get butterflies from you


Give me forever

Then give me one more day

Every ordinary moment

Every adventure still to come


Not even forever

Could ever be enough

If I could live it all again

I'd live it all with you


You tolerate the way my mind keeps wandering

From one new dream into the next

You cheer me on through every passion

And never ask me to be less


And I want more

More evenings lying in your arms

More places with your hand in mine

More years of being us


We're a little out of sync

But somehow perfectly in tune

And after all these years

I still get butterflies from you


Give me forever

Then give me one more day

Every ordinary moment

Every adventure still to come


Not even forever

Could ever be enough

If I could live it all again

I'd live it all with you


Someday our hands will look much older

And our steps may not be fast

But I'll still reach across the room

Wishing every moment could last


Give me forever

Then give me one more day

Every ordinary moment

Every adventure still to come


Not even forever

Could ever be enough

If I could live it all again

I'd live it all with you
