I think I’m ready for whatever comes next
How long can I scold myself for flunking the biggest test
I think I’m ready for the turning of the wheel
Find fresh waters for these old wounds to heal

All that it took to try to succeed
Then when I failed, what it took from me
But it’s intermission, life’s calling me back
I think I’m ready for the second act

I think I’m ready for the story to change
Don’t know what I believe anymore, maybe that’s ok
I think I’m ready to forgive myself
Nobody knows what they’re doing they’re just acting well

All that it took to try to succeed
Then when I failed, what it took from me
But it’s intermission, life’s calling me back
I think I’m ready for the second act

All that it takes, to do what we must
Then when we fail, what it takes from us
But it’s intermission, life’s calling us back
I think we’re ready for the second act
Hey are we ready for the second act?

You should run while you can
This isn’t a life
You wanna take on
Look at this mess

You should run while you can
I tend to cry in the kitchen
Once the kids are in bed
Wake up and do it all again

Loving me will never be easy baby
I come as a package
Got the heaviest baggage

Loving me will never be easy babe
These four little hands
Pull me a million ways

So you should run while there’s time
Mistakes are contagious
You don’t wanna catch mine
Besides, you gotta make your own

Throw your tent in the car and drive
You say you’re missing the mountains
The freedom and quiet
Well that’ll never be you and I

Loving me will never be easy baby
I come as a package
Got the heaviest baggage

Loving me will never be simple babe
These four little hands
Pull me a million ways

Loving me will never be fun
You’ll never be my number one

And you deserve that from someone

I’ve made it easy for you
The door’s open wide
But I’m wondering can you see through
To the fear in my eyes
Here’s my body
Here’s my scars
Now show me what kind of a man you are

Loving me will never be easy babe
I come as a package got the heaviest baggage
Loving me will never be easy babe
You’ll never be my number one

But if easy’s not your way
God I’d love you to stay
