Lyrics

We’ll do it all,

ev ’ry thing,

on our own.

We don’t need

I an y thing

or an y one.

If I lay here,

if I just (D)lay here,

would you lie (Csus2)with me and just for get the world?

I don’t quite know

how to say

how I feel.

Those three words,

I said too much,

then not e nough.

If I lay here,

if I just (D)lay here,

would you lie (Csus2)with me and just for get the world?

For get what we’re told

be fore we get (D)too old.

Show me a (Csus2)gar den that’s burst ing in to life.

Let’s waste time

chas ing cars

a round our heads.

I need your grace

to re mind me

to find my own.

If I lay

All that I am,

all that I (D)ev er was

is here in your (Csus2)per fect eyes, they’re all I can see.

I don’t know where,

con fused a bout (D)how, as well.

Just know that these (Csus2)things will nev er change for us at all.

If I lay here,

if I just (D)lay here,

would you lie (Csus2)with me and just for get the world?
