Something New

It's something new, something I ain't accustomed to
Something I've never had to do
But it's okay cause I've got you to see me through
Something about your eyes, something I've yet to recognize
Something that inexplicably gratifies
Something that would feel empty otherwise

Along the road upon which we've merged
I recollect all the time I've searched
For something that would make me feel the way I know that I should
And if I get struck by something I don't know
I know you'll be here to help me grow
But it's foolish of me to ask, I know it's understood

We've led different lives, and that's the only thing that justifies
You mystify, but I'm satisfied
At the end of the day, we both survive
What you've come to be, it's too much to try to say literally
You're my shelter, I'm your refugee
And I hope you can say the same of me

Along the road upon which we've merged
I recollect all the time I've searched
For something that would make me feel the way I know that I should
And if I get struck by something I don't know
I know you'll be here to help me grow
But it's foolish of me to ask, I know it's understood

So if you sense hesitancy is what I feel
Or I have emotions that I'm slow to reveal
Please remember that I'm dealing with something I've never seen before
And if it takes some time to relax my head
Listen again to the words I've said
And know my heart's been moved, and you've become the core

Along the road upon which we've merged
I recollect all the time I've searched
For something as fulfilling as seeing your smile glow
And if something unsettling comes along
I can count on you, you make me strong
Each day with you I watch myself grow
I'm becoming somebody I'd like to get to know
