Oh, it seems the path is clear
My hand is tied to your dear,
And I see the path unfolding,
It's not ideal, but it's the hand we're dealt
Oh, It seems that I am still Afraid of tis world,
And you call me a little kid with little kid fears in my head
All of those nights what I spent hiding under bed sheets
Trying to keep the monsters out while I slept
All of those nights what I spent sleeping with the lights on,
Trying to keep the darkness at bay while I slept
As we grow we earn these little things are just myths and dreams,
But the more that I learn, I'm not so sure
Maybe these stories were meant to protect us from the real danger out there
All of those nights what I spent hiding under bed sheets
Should have been thinking of ways to steel my heart
All of those nights what I spent sleeping with the lights on,
Should have been thinking of plan B for when you left me in the dark
Dear, I am here to tell you,
The fear is real
The fear is real
Dear I am here to tell you,
The fear is real
The fear is real
As we grow we earn these little things are just myths and dreams,
But the more that I learn, I'm not so sure
Maybe these stories were meant to protect us from the real danger out there
Dear, I am here to tell you,
The fear is real
The fear is real
Dear I am here to tell you,
The fear is real
The fear is real
Oh, keep holding my hand dear
Though the path is clear
And oh, though things are not ideal,
I will go willingly as long as you are her with me
