Lyrics
[Verse 1] We pulled the chairs out by the hibiscus wall Your old blue cooler kept the lemonade cold Maya brought the pictures, ben brought his guitar We counted all the miles that brought us where we are [Chorus] Here’s to the steps we took together The long way home, the changing weather To every small win, every brand-new start A table full of stories, a year full of heart [Verse 2] You passed your exams, i found work by the bay We cheered when rosa moved a thousand miles away Then she came back laughing with a suitcase of plans And we made room for one more plate and one more hand [Chorus] Here’s to the steps we took together The long way home, the changing weather To every small win, every brand-new start A table full of stories, a year full of heart [Bridge] When the months ran fast, you saved me a seat When the road got rough, you walked it with me No grand ceremony, no words to rehearse Just your familiar faces, making good days last [Final chorus] Here’s to the steps we took together The long way home, the changing weather To every small win, every brand-new start A table full of stories, a year full of heart A table full of stories, and room for one more [Outro] The plates are nearly empty, the evening’s still young We’ll tell these stories again when the next year comes
