LYRICS
If I were an aeroplane
And all you had left was pocket change
I would fly the whole wide world for you
Like a bird takes to the skies of blue
But I'm just a simple guy
And I didn't wave when your train went by
Because I really didn't want to believe
That you were speeding away
Away from me
If I were a diplomat
I could live wherever I put my hat
And I'd build an island just for you
And me
Total population: 2
But I'm just an ordinary man
Whose silly dreams just don't fit the plans
Of a border town run by guards
Between two countries and
Between two hearts
I thought I'd change it if I could
But now I'm not so sure I ever would
It's when you find
That life is not a movie show
And in your mind then it really smarts
In all this time
I thought perhaps you'd want to know just
What it's like to be in love
If I were a novelist
I'd write a book for the best-seller lists
And in it I'd never have to let you go
And by the last page everyone would know
That I'm just a silly boy
Whose words are a little shy and a little bit coy
But they're not meant for anyone but you
And all that matters is you knowing it's all true
I thought I'd change it if I could
But now I'm not so sure I ever would
So should I love and lose or just not love at all?
It's up to you to try it
Because up above
I'd like to hope and think and know that
You and I
We could make it
You and I
We could make it
You and I
We could make it
