Jessup

Rain tapping soft on the windowpane tonight

Watching winter creep in with the fading evening light

Missing how you make me laugh and keep my spirit calm

Patient with my worries, holding my world in your palm

Matched up on an app, sharing hours in that room

Never knew a sudden spark could instantly bloom

Next morning packed our bags, headed out into the heat

Chasing down the interstate, wild and complete

Jessup, you’re the anchor that holds me to the ground

Through every crazy turn, it’s your loyalty I found

Fiercely protective, unshakably true

Every beat in my chest is waiting on you

Till January brings you back inside my arms

I’m keeping you close, safe from any harm

Cruising down to Florida with company in tow

Things started going wrong faster than we could know

When everything went sideways, you stood tall and drew the line

Left them in the rearview just to make sure I was fine

Headed back up north, Carolina bound and fast

Hardworking hands that fight to make the good things last

Then the sirens came, and they took you out of sight

Now I'm sitting with your memory through every quiet night

Jessup, you’re the anchor that holds me to the ground

Through every crazy turn, it’s your loyalty I found

Fiercely protective, unshakably true

Every beat in my chest is waiting on you

Till January brings you back inside my arms

I’m keeping you close, safe from any harm

People speak on strength, but they don’t know your soul

Wise beyond your years, the one that makes me whole

Steadfast in defense, putting me before the rest

You’re perfect in your own way, beating in my chest

No steel, no distance, could ever make me stray

My heart belongs to you each and every single day

The weather's turning frosty, the clock is running slow

I keep your place warm with the tenderness you know

Counting down the season till the calendar is clear

Knowing in a little while you'll finally be here

I love you more than any words or melodies could say

Patient through the waiting till they open up the way

Jessup, you’re the anchor that holds me to the ground

Through every crazy turn, it’s your loyalty I found

Fiercely protective, unshakably true

Every beat in my chest is waiting on you

Till January brings you back inside my arms

I’m keeping you close, safe from any harm
