The Last Person

I never saw you coming through the static of my plans

A quiet kind of miracle I didn't understand

You were the last name on the list

The last light in the room

Now every road I used to know is leaving me to you

I laughed at the thought of falling for a heart like yours

But every gory part of me, you're knocking at your door

You're the last person I thought I'd fall in love with

The one my heart chose when I swore I'd never trust it

In the middle of a ruin

And the hush between the wind

You became the sweetest reason I believe again

You're the last person afar I fall in love with

And now I can't imagine any other name above it

I used to chase the fireworks, the obvious, the bright

But you were there in steady flame, turning wrong into right

Every little wound I wore, you touched without a word

And somehow all my broken songs will finally hurt

I laughed at the thought of falling for a heart like yours

Now I'm standing in the truths I can't outrun anymore

You're the last person I thought I'd fall in love with

The one my heart chose when I swore I'd never trust it

In the middle of the ruin

In the hush between the lanes

You became the sweetest reason I believe again

You're the last person I thought I'd fall in love with

And now I can't imagine any other name above it

If love was a map, I took the long way home

But your arms were where the lost ones all belonged

So let the violins rise, let the old world see

The biggest surprise in my life was you loving me

You're the last person I thought I'd fall in love with

The one my heart chose when I swore I'd never trust it

Through the storm and the silence

Through the ache and the haste

You turned an ending into all my brightest days

You're the last person I'd fight, I'd fall in love with

And now I know forever starts the moment I found me
