Footsteps — Reconnect Me

Footsteps is a quiet promise to choose each other, even on the hard days. I wanted this song to be about a kind of love that doesn’t pretend everything will always be perfect. Two people can stand on their own and still look at each other and say: I want to walk through this life with you. And years from now, when we’ve changed and our faces and hands don’t look the same… Look at me. I’ll still know you. If I get one life, I’ll spend it choosing you. FOOTSTEPS — LYRICS I used to think that being strong meant never needing anyone. So I learned to carry everything and tell myself that I was fine. Then you came without a rescue, without asking me to change. You just stayed when I was quiet and loved me exactly where I was. And I don’t need you to complete me. I was whole before we met. I just know that since I found you, I don’t want to walk alone again. I’ll speak to you like it’s the truest thing I’ve ever said. I’ll love you like today’s the only day. Whatever this world throws our way, I’ll still be here, still choosing you. I don’t know what tomorrow’s going to bring. I only know I want you there with me. We’ve both lived enough to know now love won’t always look like this. There’ll be mornings we’re exhausted, there’ll be nights we don’t make sense. There’ll be words we wish we’d swallowed, there’ll be plans that fall apart. But I don’t need a perfect lifetime. I just need your honest heart. Because loving you is not a promise that nothing ever has to change. It’s knowing we will both keep changing and wanting to know you anyway. I’ll speak to you like it’s the truest thing I’ve ever said. I’ll love you like today’s the only day. Whatever this world throws our way, I’ll still be here, still choosing you. If I get one life, I’ll spend it choosing you. I’m not asking you to save me. I already know how to stand. I’m just asking you to stay close, and when I reach, take my hand. Not because I can’t walk without you. I can, I’ve done it all before. I just don’t want to spend my whole life proving I don’t need anyone anymore. So if someday you ask what love is, I won’t tell you it’s never being scared. It’s knowing every part of me and still wanting me there. It’s not only dancing in the good days when everything goes like we planned. It’s waking up after the worst one and finding we’re still holding hands. So when we’re older, and these hands don’t look the same, when we’ve forgotten little things and the years have changed our faces— Look at me. I’ll still know you. I’ll speak to you like it’s the truest thing I’ve ever said. I’ll love you like today’s the only day. Whatever this world throws our way, I’ll still be here, still choosing you. Still choosing love. Still choosing us. I can’t promise you a life without breaking. I can’t promise we’ll never lose our way. But I can promise when tomorrow comes, if I wake up next to you— take my hand. I’ll choose you again. — Reconnect Me Music #Footsteps #WeddingSong #OriginalSong #LoveSong #ReconnectMeMusic
