It takes courage and control to let yourself go
Let go and let the little things in
Little things that weigh more than the big
Fat and happy and 172 pounds of love and affection
When I stand up straight,
My lips are the perfect height for planting kisses on your forehead
They grow like ivy and become smile lines around your mouth and eyes
These wire thin arms are the perfect length to wrap around you
Forming a circle where my heart is your soundtrack
My breathing is your rocking chair
It takes courage and control to let yourself go
Let go and build a home inside the four walls of my ribcage
I’ll build one inside yours
It’ll take courage and control to let go
Let go of ties that bind us to our pasts
Watch two homes become one
Foundations made of blood, sweat and tears
It takes courage and control to let go
Let go of the true to try and find the uncertain
Left with courage and longing
Walking an unknown road toward nothing
Arms emptied of their precious anchor
Ears feeling deaf with no songs to fill them
Longing for completion is this foundation
It takes courage and control to let yourself go
It takes and courage and control to let go
