[Verse 1]
And when the lights come down
I wanna feel you standing next to me
And can you hear me out?
There's a lifetime in front of me
And when my time runs out
I wanna feel you standing next to me
[Chorus]
Baby, I knew this time would arrive
I knew this time would come
Ever since I first looked in your eyes
I said, "You're the one"
Oh my god, oh my god
Tell me I'm the one
Oh my god, oh my god
[Post-Chorus]
I wanna feel you standing next to me
[Verse 2]
Late in the evening when the sun comes down
Under the starlight as the birds fly by
I see the dust fill the twilight skies
I feel the warmth of your hand in mine
It's in the air, it's in the air
It's in the air we breathe
It's all around, it's all around us now
[Verse 3]
And when the lights come down
I wanna feel you standing next to me
And can you hear me out?
There's a lifetime in front of me
And when my time runs out
I wanna feel you standing next to me
[Chorus]
Baby, I knew this time would arrive
I knew this time would come
Ever since I first looked in your eyes
I said, "You're the one"
Oh my god, oh my god
Tell me I'm the one
Oh my god, oh my god
[Post-Chorus]
I wanna feel you standing next to me
[Outro]
And when the lights come down
I wanna feel you standing next to me

This felt like a really good opening moment for the record—the nakedness of the piano was the perfect summary of where we were at. We bought a piano for this record, and we really had fun being able to lay out tunes bare-bones, with just the vocals and piano, to see if the songs were working in thei...

I didn’t intend on doing that when we were writing the song; it felt like a nice thing to do for myself and my wife at that moment. But I struggled to get through it because the picture that was being painted was just too real!
