about

A whole 7 minutes of love (and eventually piano!) here, I clearly had a lot to say to this person - and anyone else out there who's trying to make one of those major life moves. Bloom where you're planted...

lyrics

I know the days are busy
I know the weeks feel long
When you’re talking for a living
Can’t get a minute on your own
And your skirting disaster
You’re flirting with the door
And your happy ever after
Is floating miles out from the shore

It was an ordinary Wednesday
No reason to suspect
That life was gathering the players
And shuffling the deck
And when you set out that morning
I wonder if you knew
The kind of energy you’d drawn in
When I was hoping it was you

So give up the job, we’ll take to the road
The way I was enchanted by the stories you told
It’s the way that you tell it
That makes it feel true
And I’ll throw in my lot, in the back of your car
The way I was enchanted by the person you are
I’ve been waiting on chances that have brought me this far
And I’ll chance it with you

Been chasing down the sunset
Been dreaming of the sea
Try to bloom where you were planted
Try to choose who you would be
So you keep yourself distracted
And you wait for things to change
You’ve done all your looking backwards
And you’ve got everything to gain

So give up the job, we’ll take to the road
The way I was enchanted by the stories you told
It’s the way that you tell it
That makes it feel true
And I’ll throw in my lot, in the back of your car
The way I was enchanted by the person you are
I’ve been waiting on chances that have brought me this far
And I’ll chance it with you

They say that I’m a skeptic
They say that love is blind
Never ready for the deep end
Always hoping for a sign
But the way you feel certain
By the things that someone says
That it’s an end to all your hurting
And a cure for your regrets

So give up the job, we’ll take to the road
The way I was enchanted by the stories you told
It’s the way that you tell it
That makes it feel true
And I’ll throw in my lot, in the back of your car
The way I was enchanted by the person you are
I’ve been waiting on chances that have brought me this far
And I’ll chance it with you

So make your disappearance
You’ve been plotting your escape
If you said this time would be different
Then I’d believe you all the way
And the open road awaits us
And the joy is in the drive
And no matter where it takes us
I’ll be right here by your side

So give up the job, we’ll take to the road
The way I was enchanted by the stories you told
It’s the way that you tell it
That makes it feel true
And I’ll throw in my lot, in the back of your car
The way I was enchanted by the person you are
I’ve been waiting on chances that have brought me this far
And I’ll chance it with you

I’ve been waiting on chances that have brought me this far
And I’ll chance it with you
