your favorite band, and the way that you dance, but baby, baby

and all of your friends were saying i'll be leaving you, she's lying in bed with my t-shirt on

they don't know about the things we do, they don't know about the i-love-yous

i can feel your heart inside of mine, i feel it, i feel it

she's been my queen, since we were sixteen

we all need something, this can't be over now

oh, baby, baby, don't you know you got what i need?

is your heart taken? is there somebody else on your mind?

here we go again, another go-round for all of my friends, another non-stop, will it ever end?

i speak a different language, but i still hear your call

no baby, this is not an illusion, i've really got my heart out on my sleeve

a necessity for apologies between you and me, baby, there is none

it feels like we've been living in fast forward, another moment passing by (up, up, up all night)

and i wanted you to know without you, i can't face it

there's a moment when you finally realize, there's no way you can change the rolling tide

yeah we were together summer '09, wanna roll back like press and rewind

you only want me 'cause i'm taken

who's gonna be the last one to drive away? who's gonna be the last one to forget this place?

so many nights i thought it over, told myself i kinda liked her, but there was something missing in her eyes

when you walk by, i try to say it, but then i freeze, and never do it

am i the only, only believer? there's something happening here

well, if it was me, then i would, i would

you might have moved on, but girl you should know

but baby if you say you want me to stay, i'll change my mind

i never counted all of mine, if i tried, i know it would feel like infinity

now ask me why i want to

baby, i'm perfect for you

who's this man that's holding your hand and talking about your eyes? (oh-oh-oh-oh)

i don't know why you're being shy, and turn away when i look into your eyes

we could go out any day, any night

meet in the middle, there's always room for common ground

and well, there must've been a time, i was the reason for that smile

i wish i could be there now

and i know we'll be alright, child, just close your eyes and see

it's everything about you

so, baby, hold on to my heart, oh, need you to keep me from falling apart

please believe me, don't you see, the things you mean to me?

i won't act my age, no i won't act my age, no, i'll still feel the same around you, hey (oh)

when you can't sleep, i'll be your temporary fix

'cause i'm the foolish one that you anointed with your heart, i tore it apart

i wish it wasn't true, but the whole world's tryin' to get a piece of you

and i remember you laughing, so let's just laugh again

but seeing you with him, just don't feel right

how come she's so afraid of falling in love, she's not afraid of scary movies

and i wanted you to know without you, i can't face it

just promise you'll remember, when the sky is grey

don't need makeup to cover up, being the way that you are is enough

you might have moved on, but girl you should know

girl, what would you do? would you wanna stay, if i were to say?

i don't know why you're being shy, and turn away when i look into your eyes
