you in a song...

trying to figure out which way i want this to go.
do i want it to be happy or sad or fast or slow?
trying to work it out what it is i feel.
do i wanna rock you, shock you, soothe you, or move you??

i just wanna write you in a song.
put your smile on paper so you can sing along.
i just wanna bottle the sun.
yeah, keep your light a secret i can find when you are gone, gone, gone...

you are like a beautiful tree,
with roots in the ground so deep that they could never be seen.
i'm a leaf that ready to fall,
and the wind's gonna blow me someday away from it all...

i just wanna write you in a song.
put your smile on paper so you can sing along.
i just wanna bottle the sun.
yeah, keep your light a secret i can find when you are gone, gone, gone...

most people when they can't get away,
it makes them more than a little crazy.
well i'm the one that can never stay,
but i'll always have you with me in this song...
