You Were Near Lyrics

You used to dream of fireworks lighting up the sky

Waiting for someone to pull you to quiet nights

But he came with nothing more than a gentle smile

And you realized love ain't always wild

You thought he'd come in like a storm, loud and strong

But thought was a whisper that you needed all along

You wanted to be swept off your feet and saved

But sometimes love is simple, and that's okay

You were young when you wanted him to be a king

But now you see love's more than a crown or ring

He's no hero, but he's standing right there

And the real love came when you were near

You painted pictures of someone who'd set you free

But what you needed was a hand, the quiet, just to be

He didn't ride in on a wave or burning light

But somehow, with him, everything feels right

You thought love was bigger, brighter, louder than life

But he came through steady, cut through all the strife

You wanted a savior to take away your pain

But love is just someone who knows your name

You were young when you wanted him to be a king

But now you see love's more than a crown or ring

He's no hero, but he's standing right there

And the real love came when you were near

Now you know, love is quiet, love is slow

Not the fireworks you thought would glow

It's a hand that holds yours in the dark

It's the peace you find in someone's heart

You were young when you wanted him to be a king

But now you see love's more than a crown or ring

He's no hero, but he's standing right there

And the real love came when you were near
