(Verse 1 – Him, slow, almost spoken)
There’s a hush on the water tonight
just the lap of the tide and your breathing
No grand orchestra, no spotlight
only this small, steady feeling
You stand in the doorway, half in shadow
and the whole damn world feels right

(Verse 1 – Her, soft as porch-light)
We’ve gathered a few scars along the way
lost more coins than we ever held tight
But every time the evening pulls the blinds
you’re still here – my softest light
Every heartbeat stumbles, then remembers
how to find its way home to you

(Chorus – Both, voices close, unhurried)
Life’s just the quiet story we carry
Just you and I
A thin silver thread of a melody
slipping downstream under a wide-open sky
Just you…
and I

(Verse 2 – Her, like a memory rising)
You’re the current that never quite settles
deep-running, restless, full of miles
I’m the slow curve of the riverbank
learning your shape after all this while
When the night comes down heavy and cold
you still find the warmth in my smile

(Verse 2 – Him, voice cracked with wonder)
In your eyes there’s a long summer twilight
the kind that lingers, refuses to die
Every dream I ever bothered to keep
wakes up whispering your name when I sigh
Every ordinary morning feels sacred
when it opens itself with you by

(Chorus – Both)
Life’s just the quiet story we carry
Just you and I
A thin silver thread of a melody
slipping downstream under a wide-open sky
Just you…
and I

(Bridge – trading lines, almost like two people remembering the same road)
(Him) Storms roll through, they rattle the windows
(Her) They pass like old freight trains in the rain
(Him) The sky turns iron, then lets the light in
(Her) And love – love just stays the same
(Both, very low, almost a sigh)
Every mile we’ve walked leaves a faint mark
a small, stubborn echo time can’t unclaim

(Final Chorus – Both, gentle swell then long, slow fade)
Life’s just the quiet story we carry
Just you and I
A fragile little tune the river keeps humming
long after the last star closes its eye
Just you…
and I…
(soft, last breath)
…only you…
and I
