I like to think I walk with purpose
When the spotlight's glaring down
I don't take steps until I'm certain
That my feet will find the ground
And I make sure my paths are straight lines
Yeah, my strides are always sound
But, sometimes, I let myself trip
When there's no one around
I like to keep the world at arm's length
But you got into my space
You tugged at my mask of indifference
And you pulled it off my face
Sometimes, I feel so bare around you
Yeah, I almost feel ashamed
I'm like a catch
without the chase
But you make me feel like that's okay
CHORUS
And I don't know what's going on
But I'd like
to stay here for a hundred years with you
You turn my poems into songs
And I'm scared to death, but I'd face all my fears for you
I know it shouldn't
be that easy
But who said love had to be hard?
I swore I'd
never grace the grounds of canyons
But you make me want to fall that far
I stick to plans and stop at red lights
Yeah, I follow all the rules
I go to church and pray to Jesus
Every Sunday around noon
I keep my elbows off the table
And don't say anything too rude
But, sometimes, I let myself curse
When there's no one in the room
I keep a sunny
disposition
Even when it hurts to smile
You find me
when I feel like crying
And keep me laughing all the while
You wear your
heart out on your sleeve
You're just as honest as a child
And when you're sad, tears fall like rain
But when you grin, the stars seem
plain
Repeat CHORUS
I like to think I walk with purpose
Your stride's no faster than a snooze
My steps are always quick and curt, but
I don't mind slowing down for you
You make me stop to take a breath
I make sure you always follow through
And there is not a word that tastes
As lovely to
me as your name
Repeat CHORUS
I like to think I walk with purpose
And I'm headed
straight to you
