Crossroads (love is a winding path)

sit here on the edge im ready to take a step
its a path i have had no cause to tread
for a long time, and its a path that winds
i cannot be sure of the destination only the idea
im not all in on this at once, i still fear
i still dont know what to do when the time to choose
is coming near
see the path is long, and its overgrown
i dont know where its been, whether it will be a home
or a blasted heath. Im clicking my tongue against my teeth
in annoyance, see i really want to walk this path
i really want to hear the wind, that sounds like it laughs
i want to look back one day and this decision be past
i want to walk this path, but i want the journey to last
how can i just throw myself on the mercy of the forest
i have been too long out of the game, but this feeling, so far its the best
i have put of choosing so long, but i finally found a sign post i want to follow
so im going to have to be brave, borrow the fearlessness of a hero and step out.
And i realise that i am already walking on this path, i have made the decision
the idea that i could still choose was mere wishful thinking.
I choose to love, to like a woman who i dont know yet.
but i dont wat to regret the chance, not when she is this amazing
when life puts happiness within your reach there is no time to check for traps
no time to worry its suspicious, to prepare for any mishaps.
We just leap, and we hope that the abyss contains, feathers, softness, perhaps a kiss.
i sit here on the edge im ready to take a step
its a path i have had no cause to tread
for a long time, and its a path that winds
i cannot be sure of the destination only the idea
im not all in on this at once, i still fear
i still dont know what to do when the time to choose
is coming near
But for the first time in more than a year,
im happy with knowing only the idea.
