Gentle and Wild
Love is the way You should have left a long a time ago
but You are still here
I was afraid You wouldn't want me after you saw who I really was
but Your love drives out all my fear
You have seen the worst of me, You have seen me in my best
You know what lies in the attic of my mind, I don't have any secrets
I have fallen so hard, I thought for sure You wouldn't catch me
I have run so far, I thought for sure You would never find me
But you do, after all these years You always do
Your love is both reckless and gentle, wild and still
You put it all on the line to have me, but let me chose my own will
I used to be insecure but You call me Brave now instead
All my life I've daydreamed of the romances I've read
Romeo and Juliette, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet
but it all happened so soft and slow, I didn't realize I was living in a sonnet
You make me a better person I just want to dance on top of the world
I want to repeat everything you say to me, every melody every word
No more shackles, no more chains,
No more torture, no more mind games
You promised You promised You promised
You and Your promise is all I need
