There's a lot of ground to cover One foot and then the other
On my way, my way to somewhere new
A few false thoughts, can you forgive this?
Cautious heart and just bear with it
While it does what I thought it couldn't do
I could go back to the old place
And write your name on every blank page
But it's a story now
Just a story now
It's the kind of thing that you say
This ain't no need to look behind me
But I can keep you here beside me
To make a mess of it
Then make the best of it
It isn't perfect, but it might be
You dip your toe and then you paddle all
Before you swim the channel
Thought I'd never make it, but I might
Or I could go back to the old place
And write your name on every blank page
But it's a story now
Just a story now
It's the kind of thing that you say

It's the kind of thing that you say
This ain't no need to look behind me
But I can keep you here beside me
To make a mess of it
Then make the best of it
It isn't perfect, but it might be
Treading lightly, thinking slightly
It just might be
It just might be
It just might be
Treading lightly, thinking slightly
It just might be
It just might be
It just might be

Oh, I could go back to the old place
And write your name on every blank page
But it's a story now
Just a story now
It's the kind of thing that you say
That there's no need to look behind me
But it's a story now


That I can keep you here beside me
To make amiss of it
And make the best of it
It isn't perfect but it might be
Like it might be
Like it might be
Like it might be
