Her anthem. She spent a decade learning how to disappear, shrinking down to fit inside somebody else’s fear. Now someone shows up who grabs the keys and says “we’ll go until you get sick of me” — and she laughs, because he doesn’t even see that she waited years for someone this free. This is the sound of a woman who planned her words like someone walking over glass finally realizing she doesn’t have to earn the right to sit still. Every morning he’s still something new.

Lyrics
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
I spent a decade learning how to disappear
Shrinking down to fit inside somebody else's fear
Two boys at my table, three chairs where there used to be four
I taught myself to love the quiet on the other side of that door
But quiet has a way of turning into something new
And something new walked in the day I walked toward you

[Pre-Chorus]
You say "let's take the weekend, maybe drive until the road runs out"
And I don't flinch, I don't think twice, I don't have any doubt
You grab the keys and flash that grin and say what you always do

[Chorus]
"We'll go until you get sick of me"
And I laugh because you don't even see
That I waited years for someone this free
Honey, I never get sick of you
No, I never get sick of you
Every morning you're still something new
I never get sick of you

[Verse 2]
I used to plan my words like someone walking over glass
Every sentence was a minefield, every good day wouldn't last
Now you leave me notes on napkins, sing off-key to make me smile
And I don't have to earn the right to just sit still a while
We're not kids pretending we know what forever means
We're two people with some scars who found out what it's worth to dream

[Pre-Chorus]
You say "let's pack a bag, I found this place I think you'd love"
And I don't freeze, I just say yes, because yes is now enough
You hold the door and shake your head and say what you always do

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I won't pretend the past didn't leave its marks
I still get nervous when it's quiet after dark
But you don't try to fix what you didn't break
You just show up every day for every day's sake
And that's the thing that finally got through —
You never asked me to be anything but true

[Chorus]
So we'll go until I get sick of you
And I laugh because we both know the truth
That I waited half my life for this proof
Honey, I never get sick of you
No, I never get sick of you
Every morning you're still something new
I never get sick of you

[Outro]
You say "or until you get sick of me"
And I just smile and pour the coffee
Baby, that day's never coming
I never get sick of you
