[Verse 1] I brought the whole sea to your small front door You had a key, but you needed a shore I called every limit a failure to care You said, “I’m still here, but I need some air” [Pre-Chorus] So I’m learning the shape of a yes and a no How a door can stay open and still close slow [Chorus] I can love you wide, I can love you well Keep one hand on the line where our two lives dwell Not a cage, not a wall, just a place to begin I can meet you at the edge and still let you in Boundless heart, bring it down to a human size Make a little room for your truth and mine If I want us to grow, if I want this to last I can hold you close without holding you fast [Verse 2] I used to think care meant never to part Like proof was the weight of a hand on a heart Now I ask what you need, and I tell you mine There’s a freedom in drawing a steady line [Pre-Chorus] Not every rule is a lock on the door Some make a bridge we can both walk toward [Chorus] I can love you wide, I can love you well Keep one hand on the line where our two lives dwell Not a cage, not a wall, just a place to begin I can meet you at the edge and still let you in Boundless heart, bring it down to a human size Make a little room for your truth and mine If I want us to grow, if I want this to last I can hold you close without holding you fast [Bridge] This world has measures, names, and gates We can curse the frame or learn its shape My love can be huge; it can also hear The small honest sentence: “I need you near, not here” [Final Chorus] I can love you wide, I can love you well Keep one hand on the line where our two lives dwell Not a cage, not a wall, just a place to begin I can meet you at the edge and still let you in Boundless heart, bring it down to a human size Make a little room for your truth and mine If I want us to grow, if I want this to last I can hold you close without holding you fast [Outro] Wide heart, steady hands Love can live inside the plans
