Stories of love, damaged by disallowing whispers,
"Are we enough?", we ask ourselves as we disperse.
This city hustles like there's no time to rest,
Take my hand, replace manholes with rabbit holes,
It's time we left.

Here I go into the woods,
I damn near didn't think I would.
Other people's opinions are nowhere to be found,
I could scream and nobody would hear a sound.
And you're here with me,
It's just us and a future history.
Now is our chance to dance a most dangerous dance,
As we go into the woods,
We damn near didn't think we would.

Trees scrape the night sky like wire to a palm,
I didn't realise chaos could be so calm.
The days are so peaceful, and the nights; almost perfect,
Such a wonderful place to find myself, and my love for you, it's worth it.
I'm no longer afraid of the dark,
In my change, you played a part.

Rainbows pierce my eyes through my tears,
I haven't felt this confused in years.
It's like a sentence with no punctuation,
I don't know how I'm feeling.
Stuck in my ways,
Going insane.
Happy, sad and everything in between;
What the hell is happening inside of me?

Am I a psychopath?
Actually, no, don't answer that.
I can't see all the skeletons in my closet,
They're too real; if I confront them I'll lose it.
Am I a perfect man?
Actually, no, don't answer that.
I can't see all the imperfections in me,
The comedown would be miraculously ugly.

Rainbows in June and flowers in bloom,
I've never felt this confused about you.
It's like a pen that doesn't write;
It makes no sense; it isn't right.
I don't know how I'm feeling,
A roll of film that just keeps reeling.
Stuck in my ways,
Going insane.
Happy, sad and everything in between,
What the hell is happening inside of me?

Before I met you my eyes withered with self-oppression,
I couldn't answer life's most important question.
Who are you?
I simply did not know.
Feeling blue but looking like gold.
You're the wind that made my wings fly,
I'm yours and you're my body type.
I'm so grateful for this enchanted forest,
It's serene, it's natural and it's perfect.

Here I go into the woods,
I damn near didn't think I would.
Other people's opinions are nowhere to be found,
I could scream and nobody would hear a sound.
And you're here with me,
It's just us and a future history.
Now is our chance to dance a most dangerous dance,
As we go into the woods,
We damn near didn't think we would.

I'll race up my building's stairwell and shout from the roof,
"I'M ABSOLUTELY, MADLY IN LOVE WITH YOU!"
Stars in the night's sky will dim to focus on me,
I am the embodiment of liberty.
I don't care who's listening; it's finally time,
I can feel my heart beating; this love is mine.
I'll kiss you on the streets with a smile on my face,
These emotions were worth the wait.

I've found solace in open love,
And for that, I know I am enough.
I've found solace in open love,
And for that, I know I am enough.
