I See Red
Boy & Bear Lyrics
I visit worlds you live
I took what you could give
I listened and watched words
Flow from your pretty lips
I gave you what you need
Wished for words you'd never say
Your love is like a fountain
But it washes me away
We're two stars in the sky
We used to fly so high
Now I say I love you
And you say goodbye
You said you had your doubts
But I couldn't scream and shout
I held you in my arms
And pray you'd come home to me
If you could see this beauty now
If you could see what I see
And if you opened up your eyes
You'd see what I see
I've walked these streets alone
Looked for love in hearts of stone
I've sat there disappointed
By countless silent phones
But when I think of you
There's nothing let to do
But hold on
Just hold on
If you could see this beauty now
If you could see what I see
And if you opened up your eyes
You'd see what I see
You and me
You and me
Set free
I took what you could give
I listened and watched words
Flow from your pretty lips
I gave you what you need
Wished for words you'd never say
Your love is like a fountain
But it washes me away
We're two stars in the sky
We used to fly so high
And you say goodbye
You said you had your doubts
But I couldn't scream and shout
I held you in my arms
And pray you'd come home to me
If you could see this beauty now
If you could see what I see
And if you opened up your eyes
You'd see what I see
I've walked these streets alone
Looked for love in hearts of stone
I've sat there disappointed
By countless silent phones
But when I think of you
There's nothing let to do
But hold on
Just hold on
If you could see this beauty now
If you could see what I see
And if you opened up your eyes
You'd see what I see
You and me
You and me
Set free
