lyrics

If I was a man of the world
I could express my love in five vowels and three consonants
But so many have surpassed that bar before me

I’ve never held your hand
But I know our hearts beat at the same time
I wrote hundreds of discarded odes
At the first sight of your smile

If I was a man of the world
I could express my love in five vowels and three consonants
But so many have surpassed that bar before me

And my affection for you
Will last long after I’m alive
I just wish my heart
Could protect you like the stars in the sky

If I was a man of the world
I could express my love in five vowels and three consonants
But your adoration means even this will make you happy
