My mind is racing at a mile a minute
It's losing to the lonely hearts
Of a thousand wishful lovers running in my shoes
They're running circles around my morals
Anytime, I would be there for you
Open your eyes, I'm here and waiting for you
Biting my tongue 'til the perfect moment
A bittersweet chase that's slowing me down
Look at me tonight - it's all I need now
You've painted pictures of some beautiful still life
But this one's better, it's so much better than
The ones I dream of as I cross the Atlantic -
A jaded lover and a hopeless romantic
Anytime, I would be there for you
Open your eyes, I'm here and waiting for you
Biting my tongue 'til the perfect moment
A bittersweet chase that's slowing me down
Look at me tonight - it's all I need now
"Until you're sure you mean it just wait to say it."
Don't you remember that's advice you gave me?
Stay with me tonight
You're safe here
I know you can't believe, dear, that I would say this
But once-upon-a-time's can happen and all you have to do is grab them
Stay near. I hate to make you wait, dear. I'd never want to
But what's a boy supposed to do when happy-ever-afters might come true?
Biting my tongue 'til the perfect moment
A bittersweet chase that's slowing me down
Look at me tonight - it's all I need now
"Until you're sure you mean it just wait to say it."
Don't you remember that's advice you gave me?
Stay with me tonight
