She cut her long hair off to her ears She said, "I'm ready for change." I took the long way driving her home Hoping to buy myself some time beside her "I need a real man, honey. Make some real plans." Echoing in my head I wanna know what's dragging her down, I hope to God she doesn't change her mind Honey, you're worth it Looking for a heartbeat Caught up in a whirlwind Baby, I'm nervous Looking in your wide eyes You're one in a million Honey, you're worth it I grew my short hair down to my lips; The way she likes it Hoping appearance is enough to keep the wheels turning Makes me wonder "Is just my beating heart enough?" I came out swinging like I'm trying to start a fire With some branches and some gasoline Hope like a phoenix in the night We'll arise Lighting up what we could be 'Cause, honey, you're worth it Looking for a heartbeat Caught up in a whirlwind Baby, I'm nervous Looking in your wide eyes You're one in a million Honey, you're worth it Honey, you're worth it I'm feeling like a smoking gun You tell me everything is fine But don't you try and save face, love We both know I can read your mind And with the embers slowly burning down I'm reminded that love is blind And in my favorite t-shirt You kiss me like the first time Honey, you're worth it Looking for a heartbeat Caught up in a whirlwind Baby, I'm nervous Looking in your wide eyes You're one in a million If you can believe me Struggle through the riptide Fight my way to your side Chasing that feeling Looking in your bright eyes Make me wanna change; I wanna be worth it 'Cause, honey, you're worth it
