In a 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 the 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
"OK, I'll be brave"
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
"OK, 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"
"Be brave"
