One hand on the knob, one foot out the door licking my lips for what I can’t see ‘round the corner Where I’ve been, what I’ve done what I said to you is a bottom-dragging anchor In a seed, a tree, an ocean in a drop of rain In a suitcase, a box of photos, a freight train but it’s your leg barely touching mine your slippery smile right now is all I can contain We know what it takes to get up every day and do it again We know it takes sweat and tears, a bucket, a shovel, a knee on the ground We know it takes a little love all around I’ve mended fences, left open gates, tied myself up in knots I’ve scratched off scabs, wore out my welcome, jammed some locks I swallowed your strong medicine gave you a dose of me and here we are again We know what it takes to get up every day and do it again We know it takes sweat and tears, a bucket, a shovel, a knee on the ground We know it takes a little love all around So blow out the light, slip off your dress undo the night, leave me an unraveled mess Oh my, oh my, oh my girl, one thing’s for sure, we’ve got a lot of love in our little world To live like a fish isn’t thirsty must be a dance upon a wire To live like a moth craves the flame, holy fire peeling off every last thin skin of mine nothing to lose, no thing of me left behind ‘Cause I know what it takes to get up every day and be myself again I know it takes sweat and tears, a bucket, a shovel, a knee on the ground I know, I know, I know it takes it a lot of love inside and out It takes a lot of love, a lot of love a lot of love all around

I’m old school, I like it live well I’m old school, no LCD vibe I like my mashed potatoes and gravy on the side Well I’m old school, I like the wind in my face Yes I’m old school, I like communication you can’t trace whisper it in my ear, baby and we’ll fire up this place I’m old school, I like knowin’ when it’s real and when it’s faking Yes I’m old school, know where you’re from and what you are making I’ve got your back if you got mine Oh why can’t we just get along most of the time Well I’m old school, I like to hold it in my hands Yes I’m old school, you can’t have my love unless you’re plugged right in I’m talking ’bout my baby to know what I mean about the real thing

You walked through my door like you've never done before Somethin’ in your eye knocked me over A few hours after that you walked into my room hungry like I never felt you before, girl Now I know I’m not makin’ it easy I’ll jump that fence now that I know I can ‘cause that windin’ road is all I can count on She lays herself down and lets me go for a ride She lays herself down and let’s me go for a ride Three days before all of this you turned off your phone and I took the opportunity to be free Alone, alive, big, spinning way up into the sky still a slave to the wind, a feather’s false delight False delight Now I know I’m not makin’ it easy I’ll turn right around now that I know I can ‘cause that windin’ road is all I can count on She lays herself down and lets me go for a ride She lays herself down and comes along for the ride She lays herself down and takes me on Oh lover of the wind, keeper of the road don’t leave me now Oh, don’t leave me now I flash back to a different time altogether, a different life when everything, everything was so easy I was just me and that was okay I didn’t know what I didn’t know I didn’t have to second guess what I was feeling Now I know I’m not makin’ it easy I’ll turn right around now that I know I can ‘cause that windin’ road is all I can count on She lays herself down and lets me go for a ride She lays herself down and comes along for the ride She lays herself down and takes me on Oh lover of the wind, keeper of the road don’t leave me now Don’t leave me now

In a dream you leaned over You kissed my head and you said, Don’t be afraid of anything, a beginning comes from an end I still feel your hand even when I walk alone I’ve come to collect what’s been owed I've come to a fork in the road I’ve come to the day I have to decide what stays and what goes. I still feel your hand even when I walk alone To find there’s no road beneath your feet just when you thought you could leave is the best luck you could’ve had Wayfarer find your peace with me ‘Cause I still feel your hand even when I walk alone I still feel your hand even when I walk alone
