What can you say when the words won't come out?
Who can you pray to when you're not devout?
What is this feeling swelling deep within me?
My eyes are wide open, so how come I can't see?

This isn't a feeling I want to drop.
I don't know what it is, but I don't want it to stop.

Could it be love? Could it be love?
Could it be a message from up above?
Are you the answer to my prayers?
Will you wake me from my nightmare?
Could it be love? Could it be love?
I don't know what they're telling me up above.
I wanna stop living life so scared.
Are you the answer to my prayers?

How can speak when your words strangle you?
How can love someone, and tell them it's true?
I don't deserve you, so I guess I lucked out.
So I'll pray that you stay, even though I'm not devout.

Another night goes by.
Staying up for hours just so we can be.
I can't believe your mine.
I can't believe you even talk to me.

I wanna forget my past.
So I'll savor each second like it's my last.

Could it be love? Could it be love?
Could it be a message from up above?
To find someone like you is rare.
You release me from my dark nightmares.
Could it be love? Could it be love?
I don't know what they're telling me up above.
I never thought that someone cared.
Are you the answer to my prayers?

Well, the hours and days, they pass.
Like sand through an hourglass.
You shine brighter than the sun.
Dare I say it? Could you be the one?

I know I'm scared to try.
But to lose you? I would rather die.
I never thought that life was fair,
but you're the answer to my prayers.

Could it be love? Could it be love?
Could it be a message from up above? (Up above?)
You have me completely ensnared.
You release me from my dark nightmares.
Could it be love? Could it be love?
I think I know what they're telling me up above.
I want to be the one who cares.
I never thought that life was fair.
But you're the answer to my prayers.
