Dark Horse

I think it's been two years
but we're back in this place
I remember thinking
never again I'd see your face
but I welcome being wrong
I throw open the door
pull up a chair, sugar
what are you standing for?
don't look so formal
we never had any ends
I hear it said sometimes
and I'll say it again
it's been a long time coming
I hope the road was your friend

so if it gets dark
don't you get scared
darkness happens, be prepared

cause you are young,
long as you feel it
if you need love,
please don't steal it
with a heart like yours
that stays true to course
you showed the whole world
not to write off a dark horse.

did you think of me
nights when you got cold
I used to make you coffee
to take the chill of your bones
and I always told you
you are never really alone
Now we're not twenty - one
but we haven't given up
this life is about demands
and when you have enough
you'll know who you are
and suddenly you'll see
why I said the things I did
and what you meant to me.

so if it gets dark
don't you get scared
darkness happens, be prepared

cause you are young,
long as you feel it
if you need love,
please don't steal it
with a heart like yours
that stays true to course
you showed the whole world
not to write off a dark horse.

I don't like to think of you then,
younger, delicate, and broken.
it's beautiful to see you now
like a rose that finally opened.

so if it gets dark
don't you get scared
darkness happens, be prepared

cause you are young,
long as you feel it
if you need love,
please don't steal it
with a heart like yours
that stays true to course
you showed the whole world
not to write off a dark horse.
