baby

i would

i would build a doorway to the sky and hand you the keys

let you know that you're always welcome so that you never leave

buy you all those fancy things that you only see on tv

run away to a hideaway

we'd be living the american dream

and i know it's never gonna be that easy

but i know that it won't hurt us to try

if i could take away the pain

and put a smile on your face

baby

if i could make a better way

i would

just to hear you say

baby

i would

i would build the love a river wide

so that it never runs dry

anytime you ask me why

i'm smiling

say that i'm satisfied

you got your flaws and so do i

past lovers that made you cry

and though i wanna make it right

i just can't read your mind

no

and i know it's never gonna be that easy

but i know that it won't hurt us to try

if i could take away the pain oh no

and put a smile on your face

baby

i know that he hurt you

but that wasn't me

that i'm where you need to be

if i could take away the pain oh no

and put a smile on your face
