lyrics

Oh, it ain't no shame, my darling, if there's worries on your mind
We'd be no good without them, drifting carelessly through time
But if I can help you ease them, won't you just give me a try
We can pull this load together, won't you set 'em right down next to mine

Don't you think that you can't make it with that heavy load you pull
Take a little out your pack, put it in mine, oh it ain't full
We could float it down the river, let the current take control
And if we find ourselves too far away from shore, we'll break the paddles out and row

It just ain't wrong to be unsure, doubts filling up your lungs
feeling like you can't breathe, choking on songs you left unsung
When the notes just weren't perfect and the words were a little rough
did you throw it all out and never hear the beauty that shows if you give it time enough?

Well, I know I act a bit hasty, love, when I'm planning out my path
I leave so much to the roll of the dice, take its grace along with its wrath
But I must have done something right 'cause now I'm walking along with you
Oh, and you can be sure I'll do all I can do to see this whole thing through
