  • One foot in front of the other
    Keep breathing just like they taught you
    You politely asked to take a walk with me
    I would've married you there underneath the trees
    Is it real, this thing?
    Is it real, ooh, this thing?

    I could make you happy
    I could make you love me
    I could disappear completely
    I could be your love song
    I could be long gone
    I could be a ghost in your eardrum
    When you sleep, will it be with me?
    When you sleep, will it be with me?

    I swore I saw you in a dream
    All dressed in white and wide smile
    You politely asked to take a walk with me
    And I married you there underneath the trees
    Can you feel the beat of my heartbeat beating through me?
    Can you feel the beat of my heartbeat beating through?

    I could make you happy
    I could make you love me
    I could disappear completely
    I could be your love song
    I could be long gone
    I could be a ghost in your eardrum
    When you sleep, will it be with me?
    When you sleep, will it be with me?

    How did I miss you, when I didn't know you? (Ooh)
    How did I miss you, when I didn't know you? (Ooh)
    How did I miss you, when I didn't know you? (Ooh)
    How did I miss you, when I didn't know you? (Ooh)

    I could make you happy
    I could make you love me
    I could disappear completely
    I could be your love song
    I could be long gone
    I could be a ghost in your eardrum
    I could make you happy
    I could make you love me
    I could disappear completely
    Be with me when you sleep
    Be with me Writer/s: Mary Lambert
