Flower in the Shade

Life: It never turns out how you think
Floating through complacency
And then you start to sink
On the plane
I left behind the life I knew
Little did I know that
I'd be landing next to you

I'll walk the walk I'll fight the pain
Keep calling him by his first name
Basically a childhood friend
My porous heart sopped up the rain
Come wring it out so I can
Soak you in
Let the story begin…

From the desert to the trees
And from alone to you and me
I promise you I'll always be
Just beyond the reach of the Sun
In the shade my life has finally begun
Blossoming

Consider this my fairest warning
Now that I've met you
I won't ever let you go

This canopy has swallowed me
And I don't ever want to leave
This canopy has swallowed me
My life has moved from brown to green
