Sunlight spills through the screen door dust motes dance like old ghosts
Your coffee mug still rings the counter where your elbow used to rest most
I trace the crack in the linoleum the one you said ran like a river
Every step I take your shadow's right there a silent steady deliverer
Loving you is second nature to me
Like breathing in the air when the morning breaks free
Loving you is second nature to me
A habit I'll never break not now not ever not for eternity
I still dial your number when I'm half-asleep then hang up before it rings
Your favorite song hums from the radio and I swear I hear you sing
The porch swing creaks with the weight of memories ones I can't put down
Your laugh's in the wind that rustles the oak turning my world around
Loving you is second nature to me
Like breathing in the air when the morning breaks free
Loving you is second nature to me
A habit I'll never break not now not ever not for eternity
I've tried to erase the footprints you left on my soul
Tried to fill the empty spaces with a hundred different roles
But every time I close my eyes I see your face clear as day
Loving you's not something I choose it's just the way I'm made
Loving you is second nature to me
Like breathing in the air when the morning breaks free
Loving you is second nature to me
A habit I'll never break not now not ever not for eternity
