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 feelin' 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! ". Wild flower 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 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 okay. "I'll be brave". Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh oh oh okay. "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
