I never knew if I was on the ground or in the sky
What does it matter when you're singing to no one
But you were holding your breath
Like a good little boy
Saving it all in your dreams for a someone
The brightest star we were wishing on the same refrain

Walk with me a little closer
Hold my hand a little tighter
Look at me like you love me baby
And I'll love you back

And like a lonesome dandelion
Watching all the seeds go by
You said a prayer for the one that was missing
And then my cup it overflowed
It couldn't hold against the tide
Spilling it all at your feet like a blessing
The bluest eyes seeing all the words I knew by heart

Walk with me a little closer
Hold my hand a little tighter
Look at me like you love me baby
and I'll love you back

Unfold this paper
Remember all the poetry in my heart is saying

Walk with me a little closer
Hold my hand a little tighter
Look at me like you love me baby
And I'll love you back

Yes, I'll love you back
