Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You walked into the room and now my heart's been stolen
You took me back in time to when I was unbroken
Now you're 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 you to sing it again
[Verse 2]
I swear that every word you sing, you wrote them for me
Like it was a private show, I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there to sing it again?
Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories?
Can I be him?
[Verse 3]
I heard there was someone, but I know he don't deserve you
If you were mine, I'd never let anyone hurt you, no, no
I wanna dry those tears, kiss those lips
It's all I've been thinking about
'Cause a light came on when I heard that song
And I want you to sing it again
[Verse 4]
I swear that every word you sing, you wrote them for me
Like it was a private show, but I know you never saw me
When the lights come on, and I'm on my own
Will you be there to sing it again?
Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories?
[Verse 5]
Can I be the one? Can I be the one?
Can I be the one? Oh, can I, can I be him?
[Verse 6]
Won't you sing it again? Oh, when you sing it again
Can I be him? Wont you sing it again, yeah?
Oh, when you sing it again, can I be him?
[Verse 7]
'Cause I swear that every word you sing, you wrote 'em for me
Like it was a private show, but I know you never saw me, yeah
When the lights come on, and I'm on my own
Will you be there? Will you be there?
Can I be the one you talk about in all your stories?
[Verse 8]
Can I be him? Can I be him?
Can I be him? Can I be him?
