If we wrote our story
We wouldnt be writing for very long
We'd skip the first chapters
And get to the climax and we'd stay forever
I would be timid at first until the whisky
Then id be timid no more
Couple charming looks and some funny words
I'd show you mine
Youd show me yours too

Now I lie awake
I died those nights you had me in your eyes
I want you back baby
I want your name in my songs
Your warmth in my lungs
I want to breathe you

My band came to play in your beautiful city
You looked like that city too
I had on sunglasses so you couldnt see
That baby, I was looking at you
And most of the time
You smiled like a child
You smile like a child

Now I lie awake
I died those nights I had you in my eyes
I want you back baby
I want your name in my songs
Your warmth in my lungs
I want to breathe you
