It Takes Two

You've changed, you're daring

You're different in the woods

More sure, more sharing

You're getting us through the woods

If you could see you're not the man who started

And much more open-hearted than I knew you to be

It takes two, I thought one was enough

It's not true, it takes two of us

You came through when the journey was rough

It took you, it took two of us

It takes care, it takes patience and fear and despair

To change, though you swear to change

Who can tell if you do?

It takes two

You've changed, you're thriving

There's something about the woods

Not just surviving

You're blossoming in the woods

At home, I'd fear we'd stay the same forever

And then out here, you're passionate, charming, considerate, clever

It takes one to begin, but then once you've begun

It takes two of you

It's no fun, but what needs to be done

You can do when there's two of you

If I dare, it's because I'm becoming aware of us

As a pair of us, each accepting a share of what's there

We've changed, we're strangers

I'm meeting you in the woods

Who minds? What dangers?

I know we'll get past the woods

And once we're past, let's hope the changes last

Beyond woods, beyond witches, and slippers, and hoods

Just the two of us

Beyond lies, safe at home with our beautiful prize

Just a few of us

It takes trust, it takes just a bit more and we're done

We want four, we had none, we've got three

We need one, it takes two
