You want to know where we go from here So many roads but none that seem clear Is what we have enough to last a whole life through Who knows baby who knows So you're asking me what do we do Cause time moves so fast and the chances seem so few Is it too much to think that we could have it all Who knows we may never know But if I were you I'd promise to live life for all it's worth Take all that you've been given and leave your mark upon this earth Trust your heart to show you everything you'll ever need And if I were you I'd fall in love with me So hold me close I'll kiss away your fears I won't promise the moon but I promise to be here And what if together it gets better every day Who knows baby who knows But if I were you I'd promise to But if I were you I'd promise to, If I were you I'd fall in love with me
