  • Said all I want from you
    Is to see you tomorrow
    And every tomorrow
    Maybe you'll let me borrow, your heart
    And is it too much to ask for every Sunday?
    An while we're at it throw in every other day to start

    I know people make promises all the time
    Then they turn right around and break them
    When someone cuts your heart open with a knife and you're bleeding
    But I could be that guy to heal it over time
    And I won't stop until you believe it
    'Cause baby you're worth it

    So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me
    Cause you might fuck around and find your dreams come true with me
    Spend all your time and your money just to find out that my love was free
    So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
    It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me

    Now how about I be the last voice you hear tonight?
    And every other night for the rest of the nights that there are
    And every morning I just wanna see you staring back at me
    'Cause I know that's a good place to start

    I know people make promises all the time
    Then they turn right around and break them
    Then someone cuts your heart open with a knife
    Now you're bleeding
    Don't you know that I could be that guy to heal it over time
    And I won't stop until you believe it
    Cause baby you're worth it

    So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me
    Cause you might fuck around and find your dreams come true with me
    Spend all your time and your money just find out my love was free
    So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
    It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
    Not such a bad thing to fall in love with me

    No I won't fill your mind with broken promises
    And wasted time
    And if you fall
    You'll always land right in these arms
    These arms of mine

    Don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me
    Cause you might fuck around and find your dreams come true with me
    Spend all your time and your money just to find out that my love was free
    So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
    It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
    Not such a bad thing to fall in love with me

    If I had a pair of wings
    I'd pick you up and fly you far away from here
    And you'd put your worries upon my shoulders, my dear
    Now I know I can't save you
    From the troubles of the world
    And this sounds like such a silly thing
    But if I could I'd fly you away
    On a big old pair of wings

    And if I had a pair of wings
    I'd pick you up and fly you far away from here
    And we'd fly so high up in the sky
    Where the stars are so clear
    And then I could save you
    From the troubles of the world
    And all you'd have to pack is your heart to bring
    And there we are, you and me
    Flying on a big old pair of wings

    We keep getting older, the world keeps getting colder
    Tell me when did we lose our way?
    It's so hard not to lose your mind in such crazy days
    But if I had one wish I know what I'd wish for
    There's only one thing that'll do
    I'd fly away on this pair of wings with you
    If I had a pair of wings
    I'd scoop you up we'd fly away and disappear
    Then you could put your worries upon my shoulders, my dear
    And I know I can't save you
    From the troubles of the world
    I know this sounds like such a silly thing
    But if I could I'd fly you away
    On a big old pair of wings

    Now if I had a pair of wings
    I'd pick you up and fly you far away from here
    And I could stay right by your side and keep you so near
    And then I could save you form the troubles of the world
    And all you'd have to pack is your heart to bring
    And there we are, you and me
    Flying on a big old pair of wings

    We keep getting older, the world keeps getting colder
    Tell me when did we lose our way?
    It's so hard not to lose your mind in such crazy days
    And if I had one wish I know what I'd wish for
    There's only one thing that'll do
    I'd fly away on this pair of wings with you
    And if I had one wish I know what I'd wish for
    There's only one thing that'll do
    I'd fly away on this pair of wings with you
    I said if I had one wish I know what I'd wish for
    There's only one thing that'll do
    I'd fly away on this pair of wings with you Writer/s: Chris Godbey, James Edward Fauntleroy II, Jerome Harmon, Justin R. Timberlake, Timothy Z. Mosley
