Verse 1

Life isn’t shining, it’s soil on our hands,
It’s waking up tired but still making plans.
It’s coffee gone cold, it’s the cracks in the floor,
It’s choosing to stay when we could close the door.

Verse 2

Love isn’t magic, it’s learning the weight
Of someone else’s fear on the nights they’re late.
It’s holding your breath when the world goes wrong,
It’s the quiet repair where we learn to belong.

Pre-Chorus

And somehow the ordinary things—
The groceries, the small routines—
End up becoming the roots we trust,
Proof that the world can bend for us.

Chorus

This is life: uneven, unsteady,
A heart never sure if it’s broken or ready.
This is love: not perfect, but true,
A thousand small choices that lead me to you.
No shining skies, no silver display—
Just all the stubborn, beautiful ways we stay.

Verse 3

Life leaves its fingerprints deep in our days,
On the letters we kept, on the bills we mislaid.
On the nights we were silent, too tired to speak,
On the truth we rebuilt when we both felt weak.

Pre-Chorus

And in the mess we stitch together,
We make a place that feels like shelter—
Not a miracle, not a vow,
Just “I’m here. I’m trying. I’m choosing you now.”

Chorus

This is life: uneven, unsteady,
A heart never sure if it’s broken or ready.
This is love: not perfect, but true,
A thousand small choices that lead me to you.
No shining skies, no silver display—
Just all the stubborn, beautiful ways we stay.

Bridge

Maybe the world never promised us calm,
But we learned to build comfort in each other’s palms.
Not heroes, not flawless, not destined or fated—
Just two human hearts that refuse to be jaded.

Final Chorus

This is life: complicated, honest,
Two wandering souls who still choose to promise.
This is love: not something we chase—
But something we make in the quietest place.
Not light, not fate, not some grand ballet—
Just all the flawed, beautiful ways we stay.

All the Ways We Stay

"Steam curls from my cup... frost paints the glass in lace..." ❄️🕯️ Heart Still Light is out now. This is a quiet, minimalist holiday ballad for anyone who finds the season bittersweet. Featuring the warm sound of a felt piano, subtle sleigh bells, and ambient pads, it explores the feeling of carrying hope like embers through the winter.
