You want to travel the world,
And do things for the sake of thrill.
I crave the stability I grew up without,
And my dream is for a happy family.

I've given up on dreams of travelling far away,
I've given up on hopes of finding new places.
I've given up on aspirations to journey
And open my worldview.

I gave up those dreams,
Because I never thought I could have that,
And the kind of stability
That makes you feel safe at night,
When the flashbacks wake you up in cold sweats
And vivid smells you know aren't there.

But you're the kind of person
Who gave me an entire galaxy
When I only asked for a star.

So if you want to see the world,
And if you want to travel far and wide,
Then please remember to take my hand,
And slow your pace.
Because I want to be by your side
The entire time.
