For you I'd fly to the moon Full my pockets with stars Just to bring them back to you I'd climb the highest mountain And through the thinnest air And pick your favorite flower Just to place it in you hair And I know you'd do the same for me Walk across the fire Swim across the sea Cuz it's love, it's love, it's love That's how it's supposed to be For you I'd move just anywhere A flat outside Paris A room in Carol Square I'd carry you from miles if your legs are giving in Be there with the aloe when the sun is burning your skin And I know you'd do the same for me Walk across the fire Swim across the sea Cuz it's love, it's love, it's love That's how it's supposed to be It's love, it's love, it's love That's how it's supposed to be It's love, it's love, it's love That's how it's supposed to be

It's not supposed to be that way You're supposed to know that I love you But it don't matter anyway If I can't be there to control you And like the other little children You're gonna dream a dream or two But be careful what you're dreamin' Soon your dreams'll be dreamin' you It's not supposed to be that way You're supposed to know that I love you But it don't matter anyway If I can't be there to console you When you go out to play this evenin' Play with fire flies 'til they're gone And then rush to meet your lover And play with real fire 'til the dawn But it's not supposed to be that way You're supposed to know I love you But it don't matter anyway If I can't be there to console you When you go out to play this evenin' Play with fire flies 'til they're gone And then rush to meet your lover Play with real fire 'til the dawn But it's not supposed to be that way You're supposed to know I love you But it don't matter anyway If I can't be there to console you

Searching for the reasons we all get lost Standing on the banks of a river that we cannot cross If you spend your whole life living in the past Then you're just a stranger in a photograph I don't know why some are meant to leave In my mind you're still here with me But if God can smile then feel less lonely Then you're right where you're supposed to be But if God can smile and feel less lonely Then you're right where you're supposed to be Then you're right where you're supposed to be Everything seems different now, I wish it was the same Standing on our old street in the pouring rain Man I'd do anything to hear you say my name Why does the brightest light have the shortest flame I don't know why some are meant to leave In my mind you're still here with me But if God can smile and feel less lonely Then you're right where you're supposed to be Then you're right where you're supposed to be

Sat on the rooftop Watching the birds flying free Watching the clouds walk And watching the rain become the sea Hearing my love talk Every breath she ever breathes Like it was always supposed to be like that But then we broke up And she went west and I went east She got a new boyfriend A little too soon if you're asking me I heard that she loves him A little bit more than she'll ever love me And it was always supposed to be like that I look to the skyline And said how many falls until I fly Look to the old times and said How many roads until I find And oh it's tough now Cause love always, love always is unkind I sat on the rooftop And I watched the birds flying free I watched the clouds walk And I watched the rain become the sea And just for a moment, just for a moment I felt so free from all I'm supposed to be I look to the skyline and said How many falls until I fly Look to the old times I said How many roads until I find And oh it's tough now Cause love always, love always is unkind

There's so many ways you can ruin my whole day Like when you walked out, and you told me you need space Then you walked back in with nothing good to say Are you over me? I see it on your face, oh, yeah When I think about the future Didn't think I'd lose ya Your clothes are in the bedroom Reminding me of your body Now we got no future Don't know what to do now Girl, I wish you would call me Tell me, is this how it's supposed to be? Only you can make me this lonely I can't have you going on and on and on and on without me Tell me, is this how it's supposed to go? Loving you is all I wanna know I can't have you going on and on and on and on without me How many times will it take 'til I lose my mind? How many times will I take back my goodbyes? How many nights will I say I want you back? I wish I didn't have to chase the past (past) When I think about the future Didn't think I'd lose ya Your perfume in the bathroom I wear it so you cover me Now we got no future Don't know what to do now Girl, I wish you would call me Tell me, is this how it's supposed to be? Only you can make me this lonely I can't have you going on and on and on and on without me Tell me, is this how it's supposed to go? Loving you is all I wanna know I can't have you going on and on and on and on without me Don't have to go this way Don't pull away I'm here to stay 'cause You're not just anybody, anybody, anybody Come be my one and only Girl, don't you wanna hold me? I need to know Tell me, is this how it's supposed to be? Only you can make me this lonely I can't have you going on and on and on and on without me Tell me, is this how it's supposed to go? Loving you is all I wanna know I can't have you going on and on and on and on without me Tell me, is this how it's supposed to be?

Maybe it's up with the stars Maybe it's under the sea Maybe it's not very far Maybe this is how it's supposed to be Maybe this is how it's supposed to be Maybe it's trapped in a jar Something we've already seen Maybe it's nowhere at all Maybe this is how it's supposed to be Maybe this is how it's supposed to be Looking forward as we rewind Looking back is a trap sometimes Being here is so easy to do If you want to, if you want to If you want to, if you want to If you want to, if you want to If you want to, if you want to If you want to, if you want to If you want to, if you want to
