lyrics

It's hard to take this life without a grain of salt
When I try to contest desires of this heart of mine, heart of mine

You touched my hand, I couldn't close my eyes
You kissed my lips, painted me mesmerized

I had to concede I led a life of second best,
When I realized you were better than all the rest

When you touched my hand, I couldn't close my eyes
When you kissed my lips, painted me mesmerized

I can't believe that I wished what I wanted
but I can't conceive this life without you in my arms
no, no, no, no, no, no, no

It's hard to believe the transparency of a dream come true
when every time I really look, it's you, you, you, you, you, you, you,
But I had to concede I led a life of second best,
When I realized, when I realized you were better than all the rest
aw yeah

When you touched my hand, I couldn't close my eyes
When you kissed my lips, painted me mesmerized

I can't believe that I wished what I wanted
but I can't conceive this life without you in my arms
I can't believe that I wished what I wanted
but I can't conceive this life without you in my arms
aw no, no, no, no, no, no, no
