Intro: Rhy. Fig. 1 (2x)
acoustic
Verse 1: w/Rhy. Fig. 1 (6x)
You??re the words that come out easy and I am speechless at best
Your star it seems to shine above the rest
You??re the face before the cameras the smile I??d like to earn
The closest thing to perfect in a Hollywood suburb
You??re the beauty that is deeper than eyes can merely see
The closest thing to perfect but the furthest thing from me
clean
Chorus: (2x)
I??d love to be
The shoulder that you cry on
I??d love to be
The friend you call when things are great

Verse 2: w/Rhy. Fig. 1 (6x)
You??re the dream that hasn??t ended and I??m still anxious for rest
Your words they seem to hang above my head
You??re the bud before the flower unfurls into full bloom
Captivating beauty but it may be all too soon
You??re the song that writes a story but leaves a lot to read
The closest thing to perfect but the furthest thing from me

Bridge 1:
And like I really deserve a chance to sit across a table
And tell you that I think you??re wonderful
And I think you??re something special
I guess this is my only chance to say I wish I knew you
Because I??m sure you??re wonderful
If I??d get to know you
