You give me roses
But I'm afraid to hold 'em, I'm scared of thorns
(I'm scared of thorns)
You said don't focus
Too close unto the notion that you won't return
(That you won't return)

Holding on to you it's like going overseas
With zero preparation, but then you said to me (then you said)
That my love is an ocean, and I'm who oversees
Your every situation, so come along with me (come along with me)

You said I'll show you the way
That's only if you let me (I'll show you the way)
Since I've been knowing you for so long, I know you're ready
(I know you're ready, baby)

Take one step
That's all I need for you to do (that's all I need for you, babe)
Take one step
That's all I need for you to do (ooh, oh, oh)
(That's all I need you to do)

He said I want you
To notice what you hate
And how it makes you
Repeat all your mistakes

Show me the reason (show me the reason)
Why you don't think I'll show up
In all your downs
Because I noticed you hid your snooze the other morning

I still love to wake you up to another day
Still don't believe my love will keep on pouring
Right into your heartache (to your heart)
We've got a long way to go

I know this journey scares you (I know you're scared of this journey, baby)
But I will carry the load each time because I care too
(You know, I'll carry the load, baby)

So take one step
That's all I need for you to do (that's all I need for you, babe)
Take one step
That's all I need for you to do (ooh, oh, oh)
