I should ink my skin with your name.

And take my passport out again

and just replace it.

See, I could do without a tan

on my left hand,

where my fourth finger meets my knuckle.

And I should run you a hot bath

and fill it up with bubbles.

'Cause maybe you're lovable,

and maybe you're my snowflake.

When your eyes turn from green to gray 

in the winter I'll hold you in a cold place.

And you should never cut your hair,

'cause I love the way you flick it off your shoulder.

And you will never know

just how beautiful you are too me.

But maybe I'm just in love

when you wake me up.

And would you ever feel guilty if you did the same to me?

Could you make me a cup of tea to open my eyes in the right way?

And i know you love Shrek,

'cause we've watched it twelve times.

But maybe you're hoping for a fairy tale too.

And if your DVD breaks today,

you should have gotten a VCR,

because I've never owned a blue ray, true say.

And I know I've always been shit at computer games

and your brother always beats me.

And if I lost, I'd go across and chuck all of the controllers at the TV,

and then you'd laugh at me

and be asking me

if I'm gonna be home next week

and then you lie with me until I fall asleep

and flutter an eyelash on my cheek, between the sheets.

And you will never know

just how beautiful you are to me.

But maybe I'm just in love 

when you wake me up.

And I think you hate the smell of smoke,

you always try to get me to stop.

But you drink as much as me,

and I get drunk a lot.

So I'll take you to the beach

and walk along the sand

and I'll make you a heart pendant

with a pebble held in my hand.

And I'll carve it like a necklace,

so the heart falls where your chest is.

So now a piece of me is a piece of the beach

and it falls just where it needs to be

and rests peacefully,

to feel my heart against yours now, against yours now.

'Cause maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up.

Maybe I fell in love when you woke me up.

"Wake Me Up", Ed Sheeran
