I’m afraid to take a step
What if it’s the wrong one?
And then all of the rest
Just make me come more undone
Because the worlds been around so long
But right now there’s you
And it matters somehow that I’m here too
And maybe I won’t recognize you
If you come to help me
And maybe I won’t know
That you’ve been looking out for me
You see beauty, and cruelty
At the same time as me
I’ve already written you a letter
For when you reach me
I stopped being a bad person
Maybe just in time
I look around
And it’s like someone turned on the light
Because there are so many people in this world
And one of them is you
And it matters somehow that I’m here too
And maybe I won’t recognize you
If you come to help me
And maybe I won’t know
That you’ve been looking out for me
You see beauty, and cruelty
At the same time as me
I’ve already written you a letter
For when you reach me
I love you
It’s the easiest thing I’ve ever done
And it’s time that I say it out loud
I don’t think it’ll make me come undone
And maybe I won’t recognize you
If you come to help me
And maybe I won’t know
That you’ve been looking out for me
You see beauty, and cruelty
At the same time as me
I’ve already written you a letter
For when you reach me
What if it’s the wrong one?
And then all of the rest
Just make me come more undone
Because the worlds been around so long
But right now there’s you
And it matters somehow that I’m here too
And maybe I won’t recognize you
If you come to help me
And maybe I won’t know
