Barricades

When I moved to the city
 Something changed in me
 And I learned to take all the positives
 With all the glaring faults I started to see
 And I'd go out in the evenings
 Just to stumble home in the night
 And to lie awake with myself
 'Til the morning light
 I didn't know what I needed 'til ya came along
 So, do you mind tryin' it out?
 Cause I've been looking for you
 My whole life, just about
 And I-I'm tryin' it out
 Letting my barricades down
 And I recall the nights
 Sleeping in a van on the road
 Even though we had a hotel room
 I just wanted to feel alone
 And then, I'd finally get back
 Home to an empty house
 But the silent air just creeped me out
 So show me all the ways I can love you
 I've been studying to learn my lines
 Not layin' it on thick just to woo you this time
 I pulled up to the airport the moment ya landed and it felt right
 So, do you mind tryin' it out?
 Cause I've been looking for you
 My whole life just about
 And I-I'm tryin' it out
 Letting my barricades down
 So, do you mind tryin' it out?
 Cause I've been looking for you
 My whole life just about
 And I-I'm tryin' it out
 Letting my barricades down
 (Letting my barricades down)
