about

Co-written with Shane Willinger.

lyrics

I was drowning in fear I was so full of sorrow
Livin in’ the dark feelin’ frozen and hollow
All my mistakes all the tears I was cryin’
Brought me to a place where I couldn’t keep hidin’

Though we met before another time another place
Seemed like you made the sun shine on my face
Looking in your eyes there was no denying
Gotta' say it out loud how I'm feelin' inside

So grab my hand tight as we walk down the road
There ain’t no telling how far we can go
It might be forever or it might be just today
But one thing I know is I’ll never be the same

My feet might grow tired, my legs they might ache
But as long as you’re with me I’d walk ‘til they break
I’d rather be ragged, tattered and broken
Than spend one more day with heart unspoken

Your story fit perfectly right next to mine
Almost like they were written line after line
So call out my name, I can hear you now
My eyes and my ears have been opened somehow

Now the light in your eyes and the shine in your smile
They got me believin’ in dreams like a child
So look into mine, and you'll see the truth
I can’t imagine my life without you

So grab my hand tight as we walk down the road
There ain’t no telling how far we can go
It might be forever or it might be just today
But one thing I know is I’ll never be the same

My feet might grow tired, my legs they might ache
But as long as you’re with me I’d walk ‘til they break
I’d rather be ragged, tattered and broken
Than spend one more day with heart unspoken

So grab my hand and walk down this path
We’ll get where we’re going though it may not be fast
But if you come with me I’ll promise you this
You’ll know by the end that pure love exists
