It's Love
Kina Grannis · Stairwells [2011]
And we can take it slow if you don't show that you're slowing
And you can try to save me if you're crazy
But I wanna know if we go, where we're going to
People try to find reasons why things aren't perfect
Fight to deny every smile they're deserving
But we can try to end this, just give me one kiss
Let me show you how, even now, things are perfect
BRIDGE:
If you want to grow, you gotta let it go
CHORUS:
You, afraid to fall
You, you know it's all...
You, afraid to fall
You, you know it's all love, love
I know that you're scared to prepare for this feeling
But it's always there like the air that you're breathing
So, go on take a deep breath and give it your best
Maybe you'll see through to me and your feelings too
BRIDGE
CHORUS
If you open up your hand
Don't try too hard
You don't need to understand
Just start
CHORUS
Love, love
It's Love
