And how you got here in my arms again
Still trying to make it all make sense
But if God can fix a broken man I’m willing to bet he can
Give us a second chance first dance
"The second half of the chorus explains the disbelief I felt knowing just how lucky I was to have a second chance at marrying my ex wife. Through our divorce, God helped me navigate through severe depression, equipping me with wisdom and unconditional love for my wife and also for myself. God became the center of our marriage." - Sam
I really hate you
Hate you ever had to make the move
To damn near Alabama
Took the boys to stay with Nana
"Verse one starts at rock bottom when she left with the kids. For a while it was disbelief and denial, which eventually led to acceptance that it was over." - Sam
So glad we moved out of that house
Ya never really liked that house
Must be doing something right somehow
‘Cause your mama started coming ‘round
Can’t believe the way it all worked out
Never thought that I’d be here right now
There ain’t a single drop of doubt
We’ll be stronger this time around
"The bridge fast forwards to the present and talks about the fresh start we got in our new home. We witnessed a lot of family and friends, one by one become believers in our story." - Sam
