“Dropping My Defenses” Anton du Preez I saw you from a distance You fit the mold of everything I need Your eyes and smile so precious Illuminating a new and gorgeous sea You move like you’re from heaven, With that dominance and tenderness so rare You bear your soul wide open Inviting me to be a better me [Chorus] I’m dropping my defenses I’m learning love has many ways to grow Incredible new senses Who would’ve thought my heart is bigger than I’ll ever know And then I met you too dear You were so confident and bashfully sweet Someone I hadn’t looked for But you somehow started sweeping me off my feet Your ups and downs are human, And that’s okay because you wear your heart right there on your sleeve You bear your soul wide open Inviting me to be a better me [Chorus] Who would’ve thought our hearts are bigger than we’ll ever know [Bridge] I used to think I knew what I wanted I used to think I only had one type For the longest time I thought I knew what attraction meant to me But there’s more There’s always more [Drop Chorus] [Chorus] Who would’ve thought our hearts are bigger than we’ll ever know Our hearts are bigger My heart is bigger, yeah Who would’ve thought my heart is bigger than I’ll ever know

about

Love. What an amazing four letter word. Simply writing, reading, speaking, or hearing one word carries so much depth. So much expanse. Yet it can also hold a small, simple truth. You are enough. And so is everyone else. Only you can define what love is for you. The most amazing and unique part of its ubiquitous presence is that there is no limit to how much more there is. Evasive, yet easy to find. Simple, yet infinite in its complexity. Love’s capacity to expand beyond our own expectations is pure and beautiful mystery.
