lyrics

Overture and curtains rise
A set and a stage
Among a light mist
Revealed in trees the
Hideaway I founded
(a)Way before I learned about real life

I would rather be the one
Who doesn’t care to try
The way you failed me
Wasted energy
Who am I?

I would rather be the one who beds into your heart
I would rather be the one, I know
I want to be the one who gives it up
(I accept thee)
I would really love to sink in deep
And not know end from start
High low, no matter where we go
We will never be apart

I would rather be the one
Who has you by my side
With children playing
Down by lakes
Under clear blue skies
