"Be who YOU want to be, not what people tell you to be." -Me


You make me daydream all day
You make everything okay
Thoughts just fly like butterflies
In the sky of what could be

What are you doing to me?
My thoughts run wild
As they roam the land uncharted
And I'm not sure what to do
In this new territory of mine

Call and say yes
That you want to be with me
And hold me all night
And never let go

I wonder what's going on in that head of yours
Must baseballs be flying beyond the park?
Fireworks going off in the sky
Everything written, everything dreamt
They all reflect parts of you

This must be a sign, right?
Something is going on between the two
Help me out, show me the way
I can't figure it all out on my own

I took a risk for us
Now it's time to return the favor
Call and say yes
That you want to be with me too
That we would be perfect for each other
No matter the words they say

You've got to try
In order to see if something is there
I need you to try
Like a puzzle we may fit together

Call and say yes
That I belong with you
That we can do it together
Even though people say that's not true

The new and unlikely
Make a difference in your life
Thus, the future could be a surprise to you
Things will get better from here

I want you to take me in your arms and hold me so tight
Hold me so tenderly and kiss me throughout the night
Make time stop in its track
So nothing changes;
Instead, remains the same

You are not just any crush that will ride in a few
You are something new that I have never known
Something is different in the way I view you
My feelings for you outstretch a football field, you see
But what are your feelings towards me?

So call and say yes
That it's supposed to be
We are meant to be together
That we are two halves of one

Let's get together, you and me
Show the world what we can do
May you not believe these words from me?
Must I prove with a kiss that we can be?
