Willing

Lately I've been advertising that what I'm feeling is new
People find it so surprising, they think I'm full of it
They don't believe it's true
'Cause I've been walking around and round
With intention in every step
Slowly letting go of every lovely insecurity I've kept
Like a safety net, I get as close as I can get
But it don't do me any good
I'll take my place, put on a happy face
And do what they tell me I should-

Oh life is a beautiful give and take
Oh life is about the light you make
'Cause I think there's more to this three-part story
You get born, you grow up, and you die
I don't know what it is but I wanna look for it
Baby I am willing to try

Lately I've been advertising that I feel empty when you're gone
People find it so surprising, I finally know where I belong
'Cause I've been walking around and round
With your hand pressed into mine
Slowly letting go of all the things that don't matter
And holding on to what I'm sure is right
And I guess that's my funny way of saying I love you so
Oh well nevermind what I left behind
How long can you stay? Don't go-

CHORUS

And in the wintertime there's a house down the road
That lights up the whole block
Kinda like you light up my world
Oh you light up the dark
Oh I remember the time we parked across the street
Just to watch it glimmer and glow
It's nights like that that are the best in my life
And I want you to know
That when the ice hangs low on the trees
And they bow their heads into the snow
When the cold sets in and it stings my skin
There's a warm place I can go-

CHORUS
