I know you're afraid
Those heavy shoes you wear
I hung them around my neck
Afraid I wouldn't be able to take a step
I'm afraid, too
I know it feels like I'm an eternity away
I'm right here, and you're almost here, too
If you're ever looking at me
And our eyes don't meet
Please don't turn away
I'm still looking forward, too
I know it's bright right here where I stand
But the sun goes down at dusk here, too
But one day I'll leave this world entirely
Map out a path for you and me
It'll be bright forever in that place
There's someone there, waiting for me
And once I get there
I'll be waiting for you, too
It always feels like I'm alone
And you know better than anyone else
But we have each other
There's always somewhere to run to
After somewhere we run from
And someone to wait for us
Even if it's only us
