  • Her face is a map of the world
    Is a map of the world
    You can see she's a beautiful girl
    She's a beautiful girl
    And everything around her is a silver pool of light
    The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
    It makes you calm
    She holds you captivated in her palm

    Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
    This is what I wanna be
    Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
    Why the hell it means so much to me
    (Suddenly I see)
    This is what I wanna be
    Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
    Why the hell it means so much to me

    I feel like walking the world
    Like walking the world
    You can hear she's a beautiful girl
    She's a beautiful girl
    She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
    Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember
    What you heard
    She likes to leave you hanging on a word

    Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
    This is what I wanna be
    Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
    Why the hell it means so much to me
    (Suddenly I see)
    This is what I wanna be
    Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
    Why the hell it means so much to me

    And she's taller than most
    And she's looking at me
    I can see her eyes looking from the page of a magazine
    Oh, she makes me feel like I could be a tower
    A big strong tower, yeah
    The power to be
    The power to give
    The power to see

    She got the power to be
    The power to give
    The power to see, yeah, yeah
    (Suddenly I see)

    She got the power to be
    The power to give
    The power to see, yeah, yeah
    (Suddenly I see)

    She got the power to be
    The power to give
    The power to see, yeah, yeah
    (Suddenly I see)

    She got the power to be
    The power to give
    The power to see, yeah, yeah

    Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
    This is what I wanna be
    Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
    Why the hell it means so much to me
    (Suddenly I see)
    This is what I wanna be
    Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
    Why the hell it means so much to me
    (Suddenly I see)
    Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
    Why the hell it means so much to me
    (Suddenly I see)
    Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
