Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
