lyrics

To run
To fall
To pretend we were never there at all
To live
To love
To find out we were made of stronger stuff

And (ooh)
Do you want me?
When you're lonely
Do you see me?
Ooh
Won't you call me
When you're lonely
And you're looking like you miss someone

Now we're flying to the stars
Just to see how small we are
Just to know your little dreams
Ain't as scary as they seem
All at once the camera stops
All those little lights turn off
You're still stuck here in my thoughts
No-one asked to fall in love

To laugh
To smile
To realise that I've been staring
More than a little while
To hold
Your hand
Kiss you on the cheek
These bodies tangled for a whole damn week

And (ooh)
Do you want me?
When you're lonely
Do you see me?
Ooh
Won't you call me
When you're lonely
And you're looking like you miss someone

Now we're flying to the stars
Just to see how small we are
Just to know your little dreams
Ain't as scary as they seem
All at once the camera stops
All those little lights turn off
You're still stuck here in my thoughts
No-one asked to fall in love

I know it's so cold
But she's my Summer
I know that I'll be warm
Dreaming of her
I know it's so cold
But she's my Summer
I know that I'll be warm
Dreaming of her
Dreaming of her

Now we're flying to the stars
Just to see how small we are
Just to know your little dreams
Ain't as scary as they seem
All at once the camera stops
All those little lights turn off
You're still stuck here in my thoughts
No-one asked to fall in love
