I don't know about you
But I think without you
I would just look good on paper

It's not that I'm a weak one
You know that I can be strong
It's just that I get lost sometimes

So can I put my head on your shoulder
Now that I've told you how I feel?
Yeah, can I stay a little bit longer
Just 'til I'm strong enough to heal?
Can I be myself and will you stay by my side?

In this world full of strangers
Loves and hopes and dangers
This accidental life that I go through
I'm not sentimental
But one thing's elemental
I can't be myself without you

So can I put my head on your shoulder
Now that I've told you how I feel?
Can I stay a little bit longer
Just 'til I'm strong enough to heal?

Oh can I
Say what I'm really feeling?
Knowing you understand my meaning
I get everything so wrong
The simplest things I cannot do but hope for you

Oh can I?
Oh can I?
Oh can I?
Oh can I?

Can I put my head on your shoulder
Now that I've told you how I feel?
Can I stay a little bit longer
Just 'til I'm strong enough to heal?

Can I?
Can I?

Oh can I be by your side?
Can I stay a little bit longer
Just 'til I'm strong enough to heal?

Can I be myself and it be all right?
Can I be myself and can you stay by my side?
