[Verse 1] Met you leaning on a kitchen counter Someone’s party Someone else’s wine I was just killing time She said “He don’t see me anymore” I said “I’m not staying long” Two wrong hearts in a borrowed bedroom Trying to feel right Feeling so wrong [Chorus] I learned to love you Slow like Sunday Day by day Year by year Built us a house out of “I’ll figure it out” Hung every hope like a frame in here Gave up the roads I was ready to run So our baby wouldn’t learn to fall Now you’re out there breaking what I promised to hold And I wish we’d never met at all (I wish we’d never met at all) [Verse 2] I learned to love you Slow like Sunday Day by day Year by year Built us a life out of “I’ll make it somehow” Stitched every crack with a quiet prayer We filled the rooms with little voices Finger paint on every wall Now you’re out there breaking what I promised to hold And I wish we’d never met at all [Chorus] I learned to love you Slow like Sunday Day by day Year by year Built us a house out of “I’ll figure it out” Hung every hope like a frame in here Gave up the roads I was ready to run So our baby wouldn’t learn to fall Now you’re out there breaking what I promised to hold And I wish we’d never met at all (I wish we’d never met at all) [Verse 3] Now there’s lipstick That I don’t recognize You come home smelling like a taxi ride And someone else’s eyes I used to fake it Now it’s honest This love I taught myself to feel Funny how the day you finally want me Is the day you needed something real [Bridge] I learned to love you Slow like Sunday While your heart was learning how to leave I stayed and folded all the little T-shirts You slipped your ring off quietly I look at them and I look at us And I still answer when they call But when the night gets quiet and the truth gets loud I wish we’d never met at all [Final Chorus] I learned to love you Slow like Sunday Day by day Year by year Built us a house out of “I’ll figure it out” Hung every hope like a frame in here Gave up the roads I was ready to run So our baby wouldn’t learn to fall Now you’re out there breaking what I promised to hold And I wish we’d never met at all (I wish we’d never met at all) [Outro] Soft little hands on my shoulders “Daddy Will you stay till I fall?” For them I’d live this story over For you… I’d skip that kitchen wall (oh) for you… I’d skip that night and all
