lyrics

Well I've been out to find
A certain piece of mind
But you found me instead

And there's something about the way
You're calling out my name
You're making it real for me

And your face lights up the darkest nights
And your name fills me with butterflies
And it's late, but I could stay here with you all night

Because I've had one too many cloudy days
I feel like breaking away
To find the sun in your eyes

You make me feel like
Maybe I could make it if I try
So I'll try

And you take my hand
And hold my heart
And all my love sits in your arms

Well the darkness came
But you're letting the light in now
And I'm hoping you'll show me how

And this feels like it was meant to be
And your love is gonna set me free
And I know it'll always be you and me

So maybe I'll get lost and find
A new way home tonight
Let my heart take me back to you

And if this road gets rough
I'm not giving up
No I promise you
I'll try

Rise up
Breathe deep
Fall down
Repeat

Rise up
Breathe deep
Fall down
