Maybe I wanna be alright.
Set my soul against the rising tide.

I never thought I'd see the day.
When you'd look at me this way.
I don't deserve to see.
Such blissful energy.
Together we can be.
Much more than you and me.
But I know and you know that I'd disgrace us both.
So tell me.

How did you convince me that
You're the thing that prevents me from
Sighing, crying, lying, dying, denying, and making a mess of myself?
Something about the songs you sing.
And the happiness you bring by
Staying, swaying, playing, portraying, praying, and wiping my tears away.

How foolish can you be?
For wanting to stay with me.
That answer I do not know.
As I watch the tides ebb and flow.
I ascend my eyes.
Up into the evening skies.
You are an angel on this Earth that I don't deserve.
So tell me.

How did you convince me that
You're the thing that prevents me from
Sighing, crying, lying, dying, denying, and making a mess of myself?
You pick me up when I'm down.
You take the bad and turn it around.
Love, glee, harmony, ecstacy, all take hold of me.

You are the reason for my existence.
I gaze at something like sunset that glistens off in the distance.

I know I could never feel this for another.
We'll be just fine as long as we have each other.

You are like a peaceful melody.
One that sets my soul free.
You're loving, caring, sharing, and daring.
That's what makes you perfect.
Something about the songs you sing.
And the happiness you bring by staying, swaying, playing, portraying, praying, and wiping my tears away.

How did you convince me that
You're the thing that prevents me from
Sighing, crying, lying, dying, denying, and making a mess of myself?
Something about the songs you sing.
And the happiness you bring by
Staying, swaying, playing, portraying, praying, and wiping my tears away.

Maybe I wanna be alright.
Maybe all I need is you.
