My Final Beginning

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some people search a lifetime For the one who feels like home A kindred spirit, a missing piece The half that makes you whole I walked in playing it cool Said I was just looking for a friend But something in my soul already knew This was my final beginning [Chorus] Through every storm, through every trial We came out standing, mile after mile Love like ours doesn't break, it bends You're my other half, my polar opposite My forever, my best friend [Verse 2] Remember ice cream and those hours That turned into a year I'd been praying for someone like you Then you asked me right then and there I laughed because I'd been searching For the perfect ring, the perfect day Turns out the moment found us both We were planning the same question anyway [Chorus] Through every storm, through every trial We came out standing, mile after mile Love like ours doesn't break, it bends You're my other half, my polar opposite My forever, my best friend [Bridge] From the mountains where we almost met a lion To the Garden State down to the Sunshine State Spinning high above the city lights at dinner Mark, you showed me love I didn't know I deserved to taste [Verse 3] You held me on the hard days, Mark When I tried to push you away When the accident left me broken You met me where I lay Then we bought our home together No more landlords, something ours Seven years and one week later We said I do beneath the stars Not the beach, not something grand Just the most perfect, intimate moment When you took my hand, Mark And became my husband [Chorus] Through every storm, through every trial We came out standing, mile after mile Love like ours doesn't break, it bends You're my other half, my polar opposite My forever, my best friend [Outro] Eight years of memories, and we're still counting Five-two-five-two-five, the same from either side We gave new meaning to that day Happy anniversary, Mark — my love, my life
