[Verse 1]
Take a look into these eyes
And tell me what you see
I built your trust just like this world
Hopefully, it won’t end badly
Take these whispers in your ear
And tell me what you hear
Crashing the world brick by brick
Told you all it would end badly

[Chorus]
I would like to build this world around you
And I would like to crush this world around you

[Verse 2]
Don’t you forget
That there were ways around
The mess that I had made
Take it in stride
Cause you are all I need

[Chorus]
I would like to build this world around you
And I would like to crush this world around you

[Bridge]
Let me in, let me in, let me in baby
Let me in, let me in, let me in darlin'
Let me in, let me in, let me in baby
Let me in, let me in oh honey
Let me in, let me in, let me in love
Let me in, let me in oh honey
Let me in, let me in, let me in baby oh
Honey, I built all these things for you
Honey, what do I have left to prove?
[Verse 3]
Beyond the moon
Beyond the stars
Is a place inside my heart
I built all these things for you
Something no mortal would ever do
Take what I’ve given and try to leave
Take what I’ve given and try to leave

[Chorus]
I would like to build this world around you
And I would like to crush this world around you

[Coda]
Around you
