Verse 1:
I’m Thinking of
the words to say

I’d like to think
that this was fate
Reference to a
song you love
Spell confusion with a “K”
Like a star without
its strings,
I’m hanging here on
these two wings
For that smile
and those eyes
I’m falling

Refrain:
If time could stop how
could I make this more poetic?
When there’s nothing
more pathetic to be said

Chorus 1:
You bring me out show me light
I’m sorry if I hide
I’m too afraid to look inside
You carry truth and make me smile
If it were you and me tonight
I would tame the stars and
save the brightest
G# F#–(hold)
one for you For you

Verse 2:
If you ever had
the chance
Would you make your
life seem right?
Or would you only
hold it back
The good times
the hard and the bad
Whatever you
say is alright
Just as long as
there’s no doubt
Could you look
me in the eye
and say hopes died?

(Repeat Refrain)

Chorus 2:
You bring me out show me light
I’m sorry if I hide
I’m too afraid to look inside
You carry truth and make me smile
If it were you and me tonight
I would tame the stars and
save the brightest
one for you

Bridge:
C#(hold) G#(hold)
Our wish Each time
Keeps me returning to you
Bbm(hold) G#(hold) F#
Night af–ter night
Lift me up as high
as the clouds
that won the sky
For you and I

Chorus 3:
You bring me out show me light
I’m sorry if I hide
I’m too afraid to look inside
You carry truth and make me smile
If it were you and me tonight
I would tame the stars and
save the brightest
one for you
You bring me out show me light
I’m sorry if I hide
I’m too afraid to look inside
You carry truth and make me smile
If it were you and me tonight
I would tame the stars and
save the brightest
G# G# F# C#–(hold)
one for you For you

Don’t wanna call you ‘cause I miss you too much
Don’t wanna play ‘cause I’m outta luck
In this town, in this town
Tomorrow I’ll be in another state
I get so nervous ‘cause I just can’t wait to see you
I guess I need you

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t believe everything you read about me
People talk but it doesn’t matter what they say
I know you’re always waiting for a status update
It comes a little too late

Can’t stop thinking, I’m to blame
’Cause you’re ready for the next one
The distance killed the burning flame
And I can’t stop myself from trying to figure out

The fastest way to work this out
’Cause I’m ready for you
Three words can’t fix us anymore

I believe you’ve been working nine to five
I know you miss me but you try to hide your feelings
‘Cause I gave you reasons
I remember when you took your breaks
You called to tell me all about your day
I miss that, why can’t we fix that?

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t believe everything you read about me
People talk but it doesn’t matter what they say
I know you’re always waiting for a status update
It comes a little too late

Can’t stop thinking, I’m to blame
’Cause you’re ready for the next one
The distance killed the burning flame
And I can’t stop myself from trying to figure out

The fastest way to work this out
’Cause I’m ready for you
Three words can’t fix us anymore

Can’t fix us anymore
Three words can’t fix us anymore

Can’t stop thinking, I’m to blame
’Cause you’re ready for the next one
The distance killed the burning flame

Can’t stop thinking, I’m to blame
’Cause you’re ready for the next one
The distance killed the burning flame
And I can’t stop myself from trying to figure out

The fastest way to work this out
’Cause I’m ready for you
Three words can’t fix us anymore

Can’t stop thinking, I’m to blame
’Cause you’re ready for the next one
The distance killed the burning flame
And I can’t stop myself from trying to figure out

The fastest way to work this out
’Cause I’m ready for you
Three words can’t fix us anymore
