lyrics

Ever since I was a boy
I had a passion in my soul
to give my love and to be loved
to have a heart and hand to hold
I fell dumb with loneliness
envy took its toll
so I gave up my dream of love
locked my heart behind a wall
but that's when you came along
oh how suddenly it seemed
you brushed past my wall of stone
straight to the guarded parts of me
this could be something
this could be something
here goes nothing
here goes nothing

I wanna love like sparrows do
once and for all a follow through
I hear the game of love's a lot like flight
you gotta touch the ground sometimes

I held my breath, I took the plunge
I wore my heart upon my sleeve
I took a chance, I let it go
now you're sitting here with me
I'm on the mountaintop with you
we're gazing at the world below
I place my arm behind your neck
I try my best not to show
that I am nervous like a kid
cause it's so scary to be still
when you're always on the run
you're really something
you're really something
you're what I wanted
you're what I wanted

Chorus 2x
