I wonder what you're thAinking
Staring through the F#mrain
Going through our baby names

He doesn't know tonDight you're flying out of Esus4hell

Be my roDse, growing in the coEld
Be my liAght in the wC#m7indow at F#mhome
Be my sDun, rising in the sEky
Be my tAime bomb C#m7lover, toF#mnight
[Verse 2]
You're turning on your phone nAow

Day by day I waDited for your heart to Esus4mend
