[Verse]
Could you be the one who drives me to be better?
Helps me realize my dreams of being a sophisticated beggar
I'm gonna get older faster than I think
I'll need an arm to link with when I limp

If I go my way
I'll have lonely days
And only one, they say
Will have me saved

Will you be there when I need someone to hold?
Will you make sure I'm not lonely when I'm old?
And I will hope that you will always adore me
And I will hope that you don't die before me

What a foolish request
To expect of someone to be more than second best

There's no wonder why we're left in this confusion
When the culture, it feeds us
Romantic delusions
