We were friends before we ever spoke a single word
Before you drove ten hours from the south
To my Missouri driveway in the January cold
With a gentle, easy smile upon your mouth
I couldn't believe you stepped out of the car barefoot
I never guessed the way I would react
You took my breath away without a warning
And right then, I knew there was no going back
ChorusBrian, I'm taking all my walls down
I’m packing up and leaving fear behind
I'm trading this Missouri sky for Alabama
To give you all this loving heart of mine
I felt it the second that you hugged me
I knew right then that I was finally home
I’m not scared anymore, I won't resist it
I am safe in your arms, no more alone
Verse 2You’ve got a pure heart and the manners of a gentleman
So generous and loving through and through
The moment that you wrapped your arms around me
I knew my love was genuine for you
I'm ready now to give up my whole life here
To move ten hours down the interstate
I'm laying my heart out upon the table
I'm eager for our future, I can't wait
ChorusBrian, I'm taking all my walls down
I’m packing up and leaving fear behind
I'm trading this Missouri sky for Alabama
To give you all this loving heart of mine
I felt it the second that you hugged me
I knew right then that I was finally home
I’m not scared anymore, I won't resist it
I am safe in your arms, no more alone
BridgeI’m sorry I was scared in the beginning
I’m sorry that I tried to fight the pull
But I can't resist this feeling any longer
You look at me and make my spirit full
I'm giving it all up to be beside you
To start our life together from today
Final ChorusSo Brian, I'm taking all my walls down
I’m packing up and leaving fear behind
I'm trading this Missouri sky for Alabama
To give you all this loving heart of mine
I felt it the second that you hugged me
I knew right then that I was finally home
I’m not scared anymore, I won't resist it
I am safe in your arms, no more alone
