I'm hanging by a thread
My heart beat is a mess
And I can't get my legs to stop shaking

Impatient with the world and its jury
I Can't help but worry
Over all the time that this is taking
This new life in the making

I watch on a cold December eve
Brick by brick, with courage taking the lead
This new life take shape in front of me

I worry that it will be monotonous
Somehow won't amount to much
This new home that I made for us
I worry it won't be good enough

So I wait for the first night
I'm this new life
To turn on the first light
In my new life
And pick the door I'm going to open first
I guess life can't be rehearsed
And I'll have to wait and see
What this life with you has in store for me

I'll let you take my hand and take the lead
Give you all the faith you need
Give you every part of me
If you say you'll stay with me
