[Intro]
She said—thank you
I said—for what
she said—no reason

[Verse 1]
She walks like the world owes her nothing
but still she gives like spring
lips wrapped in mystery
eyes holding midnight in a ring
I caught her looking up one night
smile like a match to the dark
when I asked her why she stayed
she just leaned in close and sparked

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s not about the words you say
it’s the way they leave your mouth
like soft thunder in the quiet
like heat when the cold runs out

[Chorus]
No reason no plan no rhyme
just the way you stop the sky from fallin’
The way your touch makes fire from time
undoing lonely like it’s nothin’ at all
No reason—just everything you are
like a lighthouse in my dark
all that
and everything else

[Verse 2]
We didn’t come here for answers
no maps no signs no script
but she lit up the silence
like a fuse on the edge of my lips
she said—You don’t need to prove it
you just need to stay warm
and somehow I knew right then
this was a different kind of storm

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s not about the promises made
it’s how your silence holds me still
like a flame that doesn’t brag
but always knows it will

[Chorus]
No reason no plan no rhyme
just the way you stop the sky from fallin’
he way your touch makes fire from time
undoing lonely like it’s nothin’ at all
No reason—just everything you are
like a lighthouse in my dark
all that
and everything else

[Bridge]
And maybe we don’t need a why
not every heartbeat needs a story
not every kiss needs a reason
we just are
we're just fire
we're just rain
we just can

[Final Chorus]
No reason (no reason)
no rhyme (just time)
Just the way the sky stays whole
when I’m breaking at the seams
you’re all that
and everything else
(Yeah) all that
and everything else

[Outro]
She said—thank you
I said—for what
she smiled
and let the silence speak
I love you Boo—I always will
