Trust
Wildflowers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before I called you
Even though I knew you were in town
I heard the news
But I have no worries for you now
I heard you're running away
I thought you should head on down
Come in ‘cause I found you
A little place to hide
Down here I wont remind you
I'll just let things slide
With me it's all easy
I wont push you around
So let's flick this switch and get on with it
I wont let you down
Whatever you're hiding
There's somewhere to hide in here with me
Whatever you tell me now
It stays inside my door
I'm here to confide in
You know that your secret's safe with me
I won't be reminding you about the blues
Let's let that burden be
I see your face, it always catches me
You told me "babe, I think I seen you some place before"
Now you're the one who needs to get out of the blue
Well I'll run around and pull the hatches down for you
Whatever you're hiding
I know it's got nothing to do with me
Whatever you tell me now
Won't stray outside my door
I'm here to confide in
You know that your secret's safe with me
I'm here and inviting you to shed your blues
And set your troubles free
Whatever you're hiding
Whatever you're hiding
You know that you can laugh and cry
And put your trust in me
