I'll Do This Life With You 1
R&B
[Verse 1] Some nights I sleep with your picture beside me, Holding Drew Bear when I miss you badly. The room feels empty, the nights feel long, But loving you is what keeps me strong. I hate these walls that keep you away, I hate counting hours, counting every day. But even when I'm hurting and missing you, There's still nobody else I'd rather come home to. [Pre-Chorus] I don't want another man, I don't want somebody new. After everything we've survived, My heart still runs to you. [Chorus] I wanna do this life with you, Drew, Even when this road is hard to get through. I'll love you through the distance, Through the nights I cry alone, Through every collect call That reminds me you're not home. I don't want anybody else, I don't want another love. If I have one life to live, Baby, you're the one I want. I'll do this life with you. [Verse 2] Sometimes your voice comes through that phone, And for fifteen minutes I don't feel alone. Then the call ends and silence comes back, And I swear I can feel my heart crack. I wish I could reach through that screen, Pull you into my arms and hold you close to me. I don't need some perfect kind of love, I just need the man I'm waiting for. [Pre-Chorus] We've both made mistakes, We've both carried pain, But underneath all of the hurt, I still choose you again. [Chorus] I wanna do this life with you, Drew, Even when this road is hard to get through. I'll love you through the distance, Through the nights I cry alone, Through every collect call That reminds me you're not home. I don't want anybody else, I don't want another love. If I have one life to live, Baby, you're the one I want. I'll do this life with you. [Bridge] When you finally walk through that door, I don't want to waste another second anymore. I wanna have our first slow dance, Finally hold you in my arms, Look into your eyes and say, "Baby, we made it through the dark." And if life gives us another mountain, I'll stand there next to you. Because loving you isn't only About the easy things we do. It's choosing you when I'm scared, Choosing you when I'm hurt, Choosing us when this whole world Feels like it's falling apart. [Chorus] I wanna do this life with you, Drew, Every scar, every dream, every chapter too. I wanna wake up beside you, Not another empty bed, I wanna kiss you good morning Instead of missing you instead. I don't want anybody else, My heart already chose you. After all these miles and tears, I'm still waiting here for you. [Outro] So take my hand when you come home, Let's build what we couldn't build before. No perfect story, no perfect life, Just you and me, fighting side by side. And if I get to choose who I grow old with, Who I laugh with, who I cry with, Who I spend every tomorrow with... It's you, Drew. It's always been you. And I wanna do this life with you.

Gist
A deeply intimate declaration of unwavering commitment to a long-distance relationship, where the narrator expresses their choice to stand by their partner through separation, hardship, and uncertainty. The song celebrates a love that transcends physical distance and life's obstacles, built on the foundation of deliberate, conscious choice rather than circumstance.

- Long-distance devotion and separation anxiety
- Unconditional commitment despite adversity
- The distinction between romantic idealism and authentic love
- Resilience through vulnerability
- Chosen family and intentional partnership
- The power of showing up for someone through difficult seasons
Inspiration
This song was inspired by a poignant narrative of separation and steadfast devotion, capturing the raw vulnerability of maintaining love across distance—particularly poignant given the references to collect calls and isolation. The original request articulates a deeply personal story of someone choosing their partner repeatedly, not because love is easy, but because that person is worth fighting for. The specificity of details like "Drew Bear" and the imagery of waiting creates an authentic portrait of long-distance love that feels both universal and intimately particular.
Emotional Impact
The song evokes profound melancholy tempered with hope, creating an emotional landscape that honors both the pain of separation and the strength found in commitment. Listeners experience the ache of longing while simultaneously feeling the power of deliberate choice and unwavering loyalty. The R&B delivery amplifies the sensuality of desire while grounding the narrative in emotional truth, leaving audiences moved by the vulnerability and determination woven throughout.
