Don't waste your time
Put your money where your heart is
And build us a future we can share""

Don't compare
Nobody said life's fair
Be grateful for what you have a

Oh, you still got all ten toes just

Chorus:
As long as i feel this way
I'll always find my center
The road is long but it's okay
In you i find my shelter
As long as we understand
How does it feel (How does it feel)
When it's so damn real
When it's so damn real

Bridge:
Words you say I take to heart
It moves me to a place where i feel safe to fall apart
Refuge in your embrace, it moves me to a place where i am

Fallin into your covers
Lost in the view of your eyes
Can't deny i'm in love

Outro:
What would i do if ever
Life becomes cruel
And takes you far from me

Across the sea?
I'd find my way to you
