That's You

I'd been told every break in my heart will help me through
This winding path where I found you
But I used to refuse to believe that could be right
Sixteen years had passed me by
Id been living half ass until you came flying
Like a butterfly that with its beauty lit up my life

That's when I learned when you aren't looking for
Anything, an angel comes through your door

(chorus) Standing there holding on real tight
Watchin' you watch the clouds go by
Feeling the warm sunlight shine on through
I don't know what we'll become someday
But every disappointment I've felt god's grace
That grace is what led me to
This person I love, that's you

I've made a few goals now and again
and I've hit a few astray 'cause I didn't know when
To close my mouth before letting a tear come through your eyes
It may have taken some time before I knew
that all my soul's in the words I love you
It sometimes takes me a while to realize

That I can't change things I've done in my past
Since I can't redo it, I've gotta start livin' life real fast (chorus)

(bridge) I'm taking every chance I get to look in your eyes
Because that's where I've found answers some times
When I wonder how much you care about me
But it's also when you squeeze on my hand real tight
Or you're squinting your face to see through the sun light
But I know you don't have to squint to see
You mean the world to me (chorus)
