Both sides of the love story, woven together. His lines and her lines interlock like two people who finally stopped talking past each other and started finishing each other’s sentences. The same moments — the weekend drives, the coat grabbed off the hook, the coffee poured in the morning — told from two hearts that took different roads to the same kitchen. The album’s emotional centerpiece, built for two voices that were always meant to sing together.

Lyrics
[Intro]

[Verse 1 — Female]
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

[Verse 2 — Male]
I'm not the guy who rode in like some hero in a song
I'm just the guy who learned that showing up is how you prove you belong
She doesn't talk about it much, but I can see it in her eyes
The way she checks the weather before she trusts a clear blue sky

[Pre-Chorus — Alternating]
(Male) So I say "let's take the weekend, maybe drive until the road runs out"
(Female) And I don't flinch, I don't think twice, I don't have any doubt
(Male) I watch her shoulders soften when she sees I mean it, no doubt
(Both) And then he says what he always does...

[Chorus — Both]
(Male) "We'll go until you get sick of me"
(Female) And I laugh because you don't even see
(Male) I don't know what it cost her to believe
(Female) Honey, I never get sick of you
(Both) No, I never get sick of you
(Female) Every morning you're still something new
(Both) I never get sick of you

[Verse 3 — Female]
I used to plan my words like someone walking over glass
Every sentence was a minefield, every good day wouldn't last

[Verse 4 — Male]
Now I leave her notes on napkins, sing off-key to make her smile
She doesn'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 — Alternating]
(Male) I say "I found this place I think you'd love, let's pack a bag and go"
(Female) And I just nod and grab my coat like trust is all I need to know
(Male) I hold the door and shake my head
(Female) And he says what he always does

[Chorus — Both]
(Male) "We'll go until you get sick of me"
(Female) And I laugh like that's the funniest thing
(Male) Like I don't know what it cost her to believe
(Female) Honey, I never get sick of you
(Male) God, I'll spend my whole life earning that truth
(Both) We're just two people who finally got the chance
(Male) To do it right this time
(Female) I never get sick of you

[Bridge]
(Female) I won't pretend the past didn't leave its marks
(Male) I know she still gets quiet when the night comes on too fast
(Female) But you don't try to fix what you didn't break
(Male) I just show up every morning for every morning's sake
(Female) And that's the thing that finally got through
(Male) I want to be the man who's worthy of that view
(Both) You never asked me to be anything but true

[Chorus — Both]
(Male) So we'll go until you get sick of me
(Female) And I laugh because that day you'll never see
(Male) I don't know what I did to earn this free
(Female) Honey, I never get sick of you
(Male) And I'll spend my whole life proving that's true
(Both) We're just two people who finally understand
You do it right this time
I never get sick of you

[Outro]
(Male) She says "I never get sick of you"
(Female) He says "or until you get sick of me"
(Both) And we just smile and pour the coffee
(Male) God, don't let me waste this
(Female) Baby, that day's never coming
(Both) We're doing it right this time
