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 want to 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

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's 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

when you are gone

gone

gone

when you are gone

gone

gone

gone

yeah

i just want to write you in a song

most people

when they can't get away

it makes them more than a little crazy

yeah

but i'm the one that can never stay

i'll always have you with me

yeah

always have you with me in this song

yeah

this song

oh

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

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

when you are gone
