[Lyrics]

[Part 1]

[Part 1]
If melody is my destiny
Then whats left of me
I'll give to you

[Part 1]
If next to me
Is all you need to be
Would you settle for fantasy
If that's the best you could do?

[Part 2]
Can I have my cake?
Can I have you too?
Would you follow me?
Could I ask you to?

[Part 3]
Will the world between us break these ties?
We worked so hard to realize
Can a postcard say what I see in you eyes?
Could I ever breakaway?

[Part 1]

[Part 1]
Will i be satisfied
and find peace inside?
rolling half my life
over broken white lines?

[Part 2]
Can I have my cake?
Can I have you too?
Would you follow me?
Could I ask you to (could I ask you to)?

[Part 3]
Will I wake up one morning
And see your face
On the streaks on the window
That the rainstorm makes?
Could you bear all the waiting
And the strength that it takes?
Could I ever breakaway?

[Part 1]

[Part 2]
Can I have my cake?
Can I have you too?
Would you follow me?
Could I ask you to?

[Part 3]
Will the world between us break these ties?
We've worked so hard to realize
Can a postcard say what I see in your eyes?
Could I ever breakaway?
