Tell me what it's gonna be
And I
Believe
That you could be my fantasy
But let me speak a language that you understand
You can try to keep your secrets but I've seen your hand
So, no playing games, no other names, no
I feel a way I can't explain
Are you the same?
What would you say?
What, would you stay?
Tell me it's not too late
Baby
What would you say?
You, me, all day

To tell you that this feels right
