Barricades

When I moved to the city
Something changed in me
And I learned to take all the positives
With all the glaring faults I started to see

And I'd go out in the evenings
Just to stumble home in the night
And to lie awake with myself
'Til the morning light

I didn't know what I needed 'til ya came along

So, do you mind tryin' it out?
Cause I've been looking for you
My whole life, just about
And I-I'm tryin' it out
Letting my barricades down

And I recall the nights
Sleeping in a van on the road
Even though we had a hotel room
I just wanted to feel alone

And then, I'd finally get back
Home to an empty house
But the silent air just creeped me out

So show me all the ways I can love you
I've been studying to learn my lines
Not layin' it on thick just to woo you this time

I pulled up to the airport the moment ya landed and it felt right

So, do you mind tryin' it out?
Cause I've been looking for you
My whole life just about
And I-I'm tryin' it out
Letting my barricades down

So, do you mind tryin' it out?
Cause I've been looking for you
My whole life just about
And I-I'm tryin' it out
Letting my barricades down
(Letting my barricades down)
