Without Fear

Because of her, because of her
Her eternal summer smile is breakin’ my defenses and I know
Damn well won’t find no peaceful sleepin’ with no her up in my head
Caught me by the collar at the graveside
‘Neath the sky of royal blue
Like you’re sayin’, ‘I’m here now’

Lovin’ thoughts livin’ in my young mind
Give this boy a beautiful view
And tell him, ‘Without fear, now’
‘Without fear, now’

I never questioned, I was acceptin’
Until she stepped in, movin’ like beautiful truth
If there were others in that room
I didn’t see ‘em, babe
Darker than amber, starin’ right at her
The first full laughter, askin’ six days into June
Spendin’ my evenings on the roof

Can’t tire of thinkin’ ‘bout you
And I wonder if this’ll all work out
Can’t tire of thinkin’ ‘bout you
Now alone, well, it’s all that I know

Well, the summer’s shown where we should go
You smile in the winter, let summer show
I’m movin’ on a feelin’ here, I don’t know
Never hide, baby, always grow
And I wanna do somethin’ for you
But I can see it now
You’d smile and tell me not to
I know I wanna be her run-to
Will there be demons when we come through?
What would it do if I told you?

When all of this is over, I…
Love me like there ain’t another day
Lead with the heart, ain’t that the only way?
Keep thinkin’ ‘bout how much I changed today
When all of this is over, I…
Love me like there ain’t another day
Lead with the heart, ain’t that the only way?
Keep thinkin’ ‘bout how much we changed today
When all of this is over, I…

And now I really think you’re heaven-sent
‘Cause you’ve been forcin’ all these hollow hearts to feel again
And now I really think you’re heaven-sent
But there’s a beauty in being broken, I’ve been seein’ it

Ooh, ooh, ah
Ooh, ooh, ah
Ooh, ooh, ah
