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 thought my heart out by the line
Of the silverscreen
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
Yeah 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 oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
"Always, I'll be brave"
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
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'll forever be amazed
How I learned the meaning of the phrase
Be brave!
Be brave!
Be brave!
