'Cause someone out there is missing everything you do
You're wasted, nothing ever really makes sense
If you keep searching you'll find me hidden inside you

So leave behind your troubled eyes
See brand new what I can do
Just say 'yes' if you really want me to

We can stay like this or go, go, go
We can take it too fast or take it slow
We can spend our lives ocean side
Count the stars in the desert on a magic night

You can lie awake in bed
Or come and sleep with me instead
If you give me one chance to take your hand
I'll fill the empty pages as you write the story of your life

The story of your life is unwritten
So put me down as your ticket, don't even fight it
You're shaking, you're not sure of the ending
But let me be the beginning, just put it in writing

So leave behind your troubled eyes
See brand new what I can do
Just say 'yes' if you really want me to

We can stay like this or go, go, go
We can take it too fast or take it slow
We can spend our lives ocean side
Or count the stars in the desert on a magic night

You can lie awake in bed
Or come and sleep with me instead
If you give me one chance to take your hand
I'll fill the empty pages as you write the story of your life

This is now, no, I don't mean maybe
Just wanna scream and call you 'baby' now
Take a chance and call me crazy
Smile Kid, there's only one way out

We can stay like this or go, go, go
We can take it too fast or take it slow
We can spend our lives ocean side
Or count the stars in the desert on a magic night

You can lie awake in bed
Or come and sleep with me instead
If you give me one chance to take your hand
I'll fill the empty pages as you write the story of your life

Fill the empty pages
Fill the empty pages
