Surely you could understand,

Haven't you been in love on the edge where there's no turning back,

Just the thought of him can take you to some new dimension,
    C            D
So you do what you can just to get his attention,
   Em           B7

To lead him right into my heart.

If he could see me now,

This trail of breadcrumbs I'm making,
 C           D
Leading him right to my home.
      G      Em
If he were with me now,
   C         D

In a world where we exist.
