Will you look at me
The way I look at you?
If I told you now
Would you say you loved me too?
If only I could tell you
I wish that you knew
That the distance between us
Feels wider than the ocean blue
Do you ever notice me
When I sit across the room?
Do your eyes tend to travel
Towards my own without a clue?
When you sit awake in bed
And look up at the sky
Tell me, what do you hope for
When the shooting stars fly?
When you're in a deep slumber
And the dreams, they play out
Do you see me in your mind
Am I there without a doubt?
Because if I had a nickel
For every time you stole my thoughts
I could buy a great huge palace
(And maybe a few hundred yachts)
But thing is, I'm not your princess
No, you will never be my prince
She's always been your one and only
Myself? A peasant miss.
So I'll sit here waiting and waiting
For the hero that won't arrive
But my dear, the time is running
And I won't make it out alive
