Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Sunlight comes creeping in Illuminates our skin We watch the day go by Stories of all we did It made me think of you It made me think of you Under a trillion stars We danced on top of cars Took pictures of the stage So far from where we are They made me think of you They made me think of you Oh lights go down In the moment we're lost and found I just wanna be by your side If these wings could fly For the rest of our lives I'm in a foreign state My thoughts they slip away My words are leaving me They caught an aeroplane Because I thought of you Just from the thought of you Oh lights go down In the moment we're lost and found I just wanna be by your side If these wings could fly Oh damn these walls In the moment we're ten feet tall And how you told me after it all We'd remember tonight For the rest of our lives If these wings could fly Oh lights go down In the moment we're lost and found I just wanna be by your side If these wings could fly Oh damn these walls In the moment we're ten feet tall And how you told me after it all We'd remember tonight For the rest of our lives
