Said all I want from you Is to see you tomorrow And every tomorrow Maybe you'll let me borrow, your heart And is it too much to ask for every Sunday? An while we're at it throw in every other day to start I know people make promises all the time Then they turn right around and break them When someone cuts your heart open with a knife and you're bleeding But I could be that guy to heal it over time And I won't stop until you believe it 'Cause baby you're worth it So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me Cause you might f*ck around and find your dreams come true with me Spend all your time and your money just to find out that my love was free So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, me It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me Now how about I be the last voice you hear tonight? And every other night for the rest of the nights that there are And every morning I just wanna see you staring back at me 'Cause I know that's a good place to start I know people make promises all the time Then they turn right around and break them Then someone cuts your heart open with a knife Now you're bleeding Don't you know that I could be that guy to heal it over time And I won't stop until you believe it Cause baby you're worth it So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me Cause you might f*ck around and find your dreams come true with me Spend all your time and your money just find out my love was free So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, me It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me Not such a bad thing to fall in love with me No I won't fill your mind with broken promises And wasted time And if you fall You'll always land right in these arms These arms of mine Don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me Cause you might f*ck around and find your dreams come true with me Spend all your time and your money just to find out that my love was free So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, me It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me Not such a bad thing to fall in love with me If I had a pair of wings I'd pick you up and fly you far away from here And you'd put your worries upon my shoulders, my dear Now I know I can't save you From the troubles of the world And this sounds like such a silly thing But if I could I'd fly you away On a big old pair of wings And if I had a pair of wings I'd pick you up and fly you far away from here And we'd fly so high up in the sky Where the stars are so clear And then I could save you From the troubles of the world And all you'd have to pack is your heart to bring And there we are, you and me Flying on a big old pair of wings We keep getting older, the world keeps getting colder Tell me when did we lose our way? It's so hard not to lose your mind in such crazy days But if I had one wish I know what I'd wish for There's only one thing that'll do I'd fly away on this pair of wings with you If I had a pair of wings I'd scoop you up we'd fly away and disappear Then you could put your worries upon my shoulders, my dear And I know I can't save you From the troubles of the world I know this sounds like such a silly thing But if I could I'd fly you away On a big old pair of wings Now if I had a pair of wings I'd pick you up and fly you far away from here And I could stay right by your side and keep you so near And then I could save you form the troubles of the world And all you'd have to pack is your heart to bring And there we are, you and me Flying on a big old pair of wings We keep getting older, the world keeps getting colder Tell me when did we lose our way? It's so hard not to lose your mind in such crazy days And if I had one wish I know what I'd wish for There's only one thing that'll do I'd fly away on this pair of wings with you And if I had one wish I know what I'd wish for There's only one thing that'll do I'd fly away on this pair of wings with you I said if I had one wish I know what I'd wish for There's only one thing that'll do I'd fly away on this pair of wings with you
