When I met you, I was a mess,

and it made total sense to me that you’d be unimpressed.

And ever since, I’ve tried to grow,

hoping I could find a way to be someone you’d wanna know.

You took my hand. I don’t know why.

Don’t think I’ll ever understand it, but I’m damn sure gonna try.

I don’t know what you think you see,

but I’m terrified that one day, you’ll find out it’s not in me.

So I’m gonna climb every mountain. I’m gonna walk on the moon.

When I come back, maybe I’ll feel like I deserve to be in this room.

I’ll become a superhero. I’m gonna take to the skies.

Then maybe I won’t feel so weak when I see myself in your eyes.

And when it all is through,

and I’ve done all that I can do,

I’m gonna be a little closer to believing that I’m worthy of you.

I don’t think that you expect it, don’t think it would do much good,

But I’d arm-wrestle a dragon if you asked just to prove I would.

When you’re with me, I feel strong, like I could challenge the gods.

I had luck enough to find you, so I think I like my odds!

I’ll take any reckless gamble, I’ll do any daring deed.

There is nothing I won’t risk to know I’m everything you need!

So I’m gonna jump over a building, I’m gonna run a million miles,

if that’s all it takes to feel like I’ve earned just one of your smiles.

I’m gonna fly on up to space, I’m gonna capture you a star.

Then I’ll wish on it, and hope it makes me half of what you are!

And when it all is through,

and I’ve done all that I can do,

I’m gonna be a little closer to believing that I’m worthy of you.

So I’m gonna wander every desert, I’m gonna sail every sea.

All I’m searching for’s a reason you’d be proud to be with me.

I’ll explore a deep, dark jungle, search the depths of every cave.

Sure, I’m scared, but you fill my heart up enough to make me brave!

I’m gonna go on an adventure, I’m gonna cast away my fears.

Gonna make myself your equal if it takes a thousand years!

There is so much I’m reaching for.

You always say that I’m enough, but you deserve much more.

Now our impossible romance

makes me desperate not to get complacent, waste my chance.

Don’t ever want to leave your side,

but if I screw it all up anyway, I need to know I tried!

And when it all is through,

and I’ve done all that I can do,

I’m gonna be a little closer to believing that I’m worthy of you.

So, I promise you it’s true:

the only thing I wanna do

is be a little closer to believing that I’m worthy of you.

Of you…

Of you…

Worthy of you
