Verse 1
I’m so glad that I have myself beside me
But don’t just nod your head like that
This thing and that thing
Each one was a moment when I realized
just how precious you are to me

Pre-Chorus
When you look back, you’ll understand
Don’t only look so far ahead
The heart you’ve carried all this way
is what brought you right here

Chorus
I have myself beside me
(I have myself beside me)
Don’t just nod your head like that
(don’t just nod)
You feel like someone I can’t do without
You, you really are

Verse 2
You didn’t know it then
but even the smallest hesitation
was shaping who you are
It’s okay that you trembled
even that trembling was on your side

Pre-Chorus
When you look back, you’ll understand
every hour you held on
the moment you embraced yourself
that was the greatest love of all

Chorus
I have myself beside me
(I have myself beside me)
Don’t just nod your head like that
(don’t just nod)
You feel like someone I can’t do without
You, you really are

Bridge
Every single one of them
is still here, none of it is gone
The days you held so carefully
are all making you shine

Final Chorus
I have myself beside me
(I have myself beside me)
Don’t just nod your head like that
(don’t just nod)
This thing and that thing
it all makes me love you more
You feel like someone I can’t do without
You, you really are
