I'd trip over a basket,
I'd swim the great deep blue,
I'd skip across country,
I'd do these things for you,

I'd sing loud in a crowd,
I'd ruin my favorite dress,
I'd flaunt my insecurities,
I'd show the world my mess,

I'd dive into a canyon,
I'd stab my heart with pins,
I'd grapple onto nothing,
I'd confess all my sins,

My life is apart of the heart inside your chest,
My arms are held with shackles
In love my soul is dressed,

For you I'd die, then re-awake,
For you I'd bend and soon would break,
I'd become old and born brand new,
These are things I'd do for you.
