If I had a gun I'd shoot a hole into the sun And love would burn this city down for you If I had the time I'd stop the world and make you mine And every day would stay the same with you Give you back a dream Show you now what might have been For the tears you cried will fade away I'll be by your side When they come and say goodbye We will live to fight another day Excuse me if I spoke too soon My eyes have always followed you around the room 'Cause you're the only god that I will ever need I'm holding on And waiting for the moment to find me Hope I didn't speak too soon My eyes have always followed you around the room 'Cause you're the only god that I will ever need I'm holding on And waiting for the moment for my heart to be unbroken by the seams Let me fly you to the moon My eyes have always followed you around the room 'Cause you're the only god that I will ever need I'm holding on And waiting for the moment to find me If I had a gun I'd shoot a hole into the sun And love would burn this city down for you
