Build a Sea

If I could have held my cheeks a little higher
Long enough for you to smile
If I could have held your hand a little tighter
Maybe you'd have stayed a while

Would it all be different if i made better decisions
If I picked my words like cherries would you laugh
If I just asked gravity to work a little harder
Do you think that maybe you could fall in love

I would save so many tears I'd build a sea
We would sail upon forever
Far away from all your fears
To a land where people never go to sleep
Cause if I could be with you
I would already be living in my dream

If you'd entertain my little explanation
Long enough for me to try
Try to find an answer hidden in your shadows
Spark a little light inside your eyes

I could make a potion that would sweeten up the ocean
Maybe I'd spin cotton candy from the clouds
Why you still so quiet? Nothing good can come of silence
How I wish that you could tell me out loud

I would save so many tears I'd build a sea
We would sail upon forever
Far away from all your fears
To a land where people never go to sleep
Cause if I could be with you
I would already be living in a world that I designed
The day I looked into your eyes
You're all I'll ever need

I won't ever ask, again, for anything
Cause if I could be with you, I would already be living in my dream
