The Great Unknown (Together)

The letters came in whispers, shadows on the wall News we never asked for, making us feel small Everything’s a question, nothing’s set in stone Just a blurry map of a world we’ve never known The future’s like a vapor, slipping through our hands Building castles out of hope upon the shifting sands And now I have this hunger, to see it all right now To chase the sun around the world, I’ll figure out the how I want to jump into the fire, I want to scream and run To live a thousand lifetimes before the day is done But then I look at you, and I want to slow it down Find the quiet magic in this sleepy little town Maybe it’s a mountain, or maybe just a hill Whether we go racing, or learn to just sit still As long as I am with you, the 'why' don’t mean a thing Let’s see what kind of color the morning’s gonna bring One side of me is restless, reaching for the stars The other wants the kitchen floor and songs on old guitars Maybe when the smoke clears, the sun will shine through bright Maybe all those shadows were just trickery of light Whatever comes tomorrow, we’ve got the 'here and now' We’ll find the silver lining, I’ll make a solemn vow No more heavy breathing, no more 'what if' blues Whatever path is chosen, I’ve got nothing left to lose Because you’re in the picture, the center of the frame The news can change its story, but we remain the same It’s gonna be okay, love... I feel it in my bones The clouds are moving on now, to let the light be shown Let’s just stay a little longer, in this warm embrace The future's looking lovely... just looking at your face.
