P. 18

I WANT YOU TO WAKE UP IN A WORLD
        WHERE ALL THIS WAS JUST ONE STOP ON THE WAY
        I WANT YOU TO SEE ALL THAT YOU ONCE EXPECTED
        NOT WHAT YOU‘D SETTLE FOR NOW.

        I WANNA GIVE US BOTH ANOTHER LOOK
        BACK WHEN NO MIRACLE WAS EVER A SURPRISE
        BACK WHEN WE USED TO EXPECT THE IMPOSSIBLE
        AND WE‘D NEVER WAIT LONG.

        BUT THE ONE THING I WANT THE MOST
        WHAT I REALLY NEED TO KNOW:
        IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO DESERVE YOU
        ONCE MORE.

        AND ALL THE TIMES I TOOK FROM YOU
        AND GAVE SO LITTLE BACK
        JUST SO I COULD SHOW THE WORLD
        SUCH A FINE AND GLOWING PICTURE
        OF A LIFE THAT WASN‘T MINE.

        AND ALL ALONG YOU KNEW
        STILL YOU STOOD RIGHT THERE BEHIND ME
        AS I SLEPT AWAY EACH DREAM.

        I DON‘T WANT JUST ANOTHER DREAM
        I WANT MORE THAN JUST WHAT‘S LEFT
        I WANT THE ONE WHO YOU WERE ONCE SO PROUD OF
        THERE FOR YOU AGAIN

        IT‘S THE ONE DREAM I STILL HAVE LEFT
        IT‘S ALL I REALLY NEED
        JUST TO LOOK AT YOU AND KNOW THAT I‘VE DONE SOMETHING
        YOU COULD HOLD UP AND KNOW YOU WERE THE REASON
        AND IF ONLY I COULD MAKE SURE
        IT WAS BIG AND BOLD AND GRAND ENOUGH

        THEN AND ONLY THEN I‘D KNOW
        THAT FINALLY I DESERVE YOU
        ONCE MORE.
