If I could have my way, choose where this story goes
I wouldn't pick to laugh or to cry tonight
'Cause what I want to see are all the mundane parts of life that shine effortlessly
Though I'm afraid, I know that it's not a mistake
To go back and forgive, and to let go
I want to hold you tight when you come to my mind,
Like knotting a shoelace so tight that it will not slip again
I'm singing, I'm falling, though I still don't remember why
I've loved the best, and also have done the opposite
Maybe I don't have to hide behind these empty, meaningless words now!
Always!
I would choose for you to keep on smiling, rather than me just smiling next to you
There's no end to my list of wishes tonight
'Cause no matter the words that I use, they're not enough
That's how much I love living every day here with you
All I want is for you to be just like you,
Like a light, ever bright shining down on me
I wish that I could always be next to you
So I'll never let go of your hand anymore
If I could draw this scene that I see in my mind
No cheers or right answers, just you waiting there
I know that I could try my best if you were here,
It may be an excuse, but I want to believe in something right now
I'm singing, I'm falling, I'm not even counting all the scars
"I'm fine", as I keep lying again and again
Maybe I don't have to hide behind these empty, meaninlgless words
Always!
I would choose that your prayer is answered here,
I would hope you could cry and dry all your tears,
There's no end to my list of wishes tonight
All the days I was lost in the dark, I won't erase
That's how much I love living every day here with you
All the hopes and the dreams that have lost their way,
All the pains and the sorrows of yesterday,
I'm sure they'll be born again into today
So I'll never let go of your hand anymore
Always!
I would choose for you to keep on smiling, rather than me just smiling next to you
There's no end to my list of wishes tonight
'Cause no matter the words that I use, they're not enough
That's how much I love living every day here with you
All I want is for you to be just like you,
Like a light, ever bright shining down on me
I wish that I could always be next to you
So I'll never let go of your hand anymore
We'll shine our light so bright, no matter what comes
And I'll never let go of your hand anymore
