If I were an aeroplane
And all you had left was pocket change, well
I would fly the whole wide world for you
Like a bird takes to the skies of blue

But I'm just a simple guy
And I didn't wave when your train went bye
Because I really didn't wanna believe
That you were speeding away, away from me

If I were a diplomat
I could live wherever I put my hat
And I'd build an island just for you
And the total population, too

But I'm just an ordinary man
Silly dreams just don't fit the plan
Of a border town run by guards
Between two countries and between two hearts

Thought I'd change if I could
But now I'm not so sure I ever would
Its when you find that life is not a movie show
And in your mind that it really starts
And all this time I thought perhaps you'd want to know
Just what its like to be in love

If I were a novelist
I'd write a book for the best seller list
And in it I'd never have to let you go
By the last page everyone would know

That I'm just a silly boy
Whose words are a little shy and a little bit blue
But they're not meant for anyone but you
And all that is that you know its all true

Thought I'd change if I could
But now I'm not so sure I ever would
So should I love or lose and just ever love at all
Its up to you to try it
Because up above I'd like to hope and think you know
That you and I we could make it
That you and I we could make it
That you and I we could make it
