Be Brave

In the basement of an empty house
I slept on the floor like a vagrant
I braved a Minnesota winter night
And drove to a movie feeling lonely

And as I thawed my heart out by the light
Of the silver screen
I was unaware that you were there
In the dark, a silhouette
Was climbing up the stairs

And what I thought
In the parking lot
Was like, I just wanna know your name
I drove away
With not much to say
But in my hand I held a paper bird
And written on it were the words
Be brave

Wildflower knew I wasn't well
But on the kitchen floor I got better again
I grabbed my keys and drove toward a star
And there, I was understood for the first time in my life

'Cause that's when I was introduced to true
Serendipity
I knew it when
You showed up again
In the snow, I was always told
Your heart is where you're home

And what I thought
In the coffee shop
Was like, the last eight hours was a dream
I drove away
With not much to say
But in my hand I held a paper bird
And written on it were the words

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Okay, I'll be brave

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Okay, I'll be brave

And in my mind
After all this time
I think, ain't life beautiful and strange
I'm blown away
With no words to say
'Cause I, I'll forever be amazed
How I learned the meaning of the phrase
Be brave

Be brave
Be brave
