I've felt the hurt and I've withstood the ache
Of past love and mistakes and hearts that I've caused to break
But I fell in love, like I didn't want to do
You broke all the chain of the doubt I'd been holding on to
So let's sell all we own and give away our things
You say you've got all you need when you're sitting next to me
Just hold close to me
Dusting off the words that hold my restless heart down
The past is the past and it all stopped hurting when you came around
But you whisper and say that you've felt it all too
And all the pain has shaped the road that led me to you
So let's sell all we own and give away our things
You say you've got all you need when you're sitting next to me
Pack a bag, we'll toss it in the back when we leave
Tell your folks that we're heading out 'cause we've got bigger things to see
Just hold close to me
