[Verse 1]
Coffee in a chipped blue mug
Kids’ shoes by the front door
Half the bills still on the table
We’ve been here before
You’re humming in the hallway
Hair up
Sleeves pushed high
We trade a kiss in passing
Promise “we’ll get by”
[Chorus]
I don’t know how the story ends
But I’m holding every hand I can
If all I ever leave behind
Is you feeling safe in this old house of mine
Then I’ve done something right
I’ve done something right
[Verse 2]
Birthday candles
Fewer wishes
Laugh lines where the worry was
I drive slow through tired suburbs
Thinking ‘bout the man I was
I missed a few school concerts
Worked late more than I should
But they still run to meet me
So I must’ve done some good
[Chorus]
I don’t know how the story ends
But I’m holding every hand I can
If all I ever leave behind
Is you feeling safe in this old house of mine
Then I’ve done something right
I’ve done something right
[Bridge]
Some nights I lie awake and count the “maybes”
The roads I didn’t take
The chances fading
Then I hear you breathing soft beside me
Down the hall our children dreaming lightly
[Chorus]
I don’t know how the story ends
But I’m holding every hand I can
If all I ever leave behind
Is you feeling safe in this old house of mine
Your laughter in these walls
Your names in my mind
Then I’ve done something right
Yeah
I’ve done something right
