I was down
I was out
I was alone
I was sad

I found you by the porch
I found you gazing at the sea
I found you closing your eyes to the waves
I found you, and I kept you in my heart

Now I am shy
Now I am afraid
Now I nervously ask
Now I am possibly terrified

You just don't seem to notice
You just don't seem to see
You just don't get it
You just don't know

I'm afraid to confess
I'm afraid to speak the truth
I'm afraid to let you know
I'm afraid to say it to you

I love the way you are
I love the way you smile
I love the way you speak
I love the way that you just exist

But still I am afraid
But still I let that cowardice show
But still I just can't confess
But still I won't let that hold me back

Things have changed
Things are different now
Things, I let the tides change
Things, I let the tables turn

Now I will try to stand up
Now I will try to be brave
Now I will try to push my luck
Now I will try to not be afraid

I will profess my love for you
I will profess my love that is endless
I will profess my love that goes in many ways
I will profess my love, changing for the better

I stand up for what I believe in
I stand up for this love
I stand up for the both of us
I stand up for all trials
