Can I Be Him? ?

Rating: 5.0


She walked into the room and now my heart has been stolen
She took me back in time to when I was unbroken
Now she's all I want
And I knew it from the very first moment

'Cause a light came on when I heard that song and I want her to sing it again
I swear that for every word she sing, she wrote them for me
Like it was a private show, I know she never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will she be there to sing it again?
Could I be the one that she talks about in all her stories
Can I be him?

I heard there was someone but I know he doesn't deserve you
If she were mine I'd never let anyone hurt you, no, no
I wanna dry her tears,
It's all that I've been thinking about

'Cause a light came on when I heard that song and I want her to sing it again
I swear that for every word she sang, she wrote for me
Like it was a private show, but I know she never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will she be there to sing it again?
Could I be the one that she talks about in all her stories?

Can I be the one
Can I be the one
Can I be the one
Can I, can I be him?

Want her to sing it again?
When she sings it again
Can I be him?

Sing it again, yeah
When you sing it again
Can I be him?

I swear that every word she sang, she wrote 'em for me
Like it was a private show, but I know she never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will she be there, will she be there?
Can I be the one that she talks about in all her stories?

Can I be him?
Can I be him?
Can I be him?
Can I be him?
