I saw stars on the pavement
California dreams
Looked up through the bright lights
No stars that I see

You said, "it's all yours if you take it there."
I said, I can't do it alone, I swear
You said, "it's all yours,
It's all yours when you smile"

It's only you, you
Who loves me like you do, do
Trying to keep it cool, cool
But I can't keep cool about it
Acting like a fool, fool
Wanna scream it from the roof, roof
I'm trying to keep it cool, cool
But I can't keep cool about it, about it

Before you, love, I was lost
Drifting at sea
You were the beacon I followed home
You were the one who rescued me

You said, "it's all yours if you take it there."
I said, I can't do it alone, I swear
You said, "it's all yours,
It's all yours when you smile"

It's only you, you
Who loves me like you do, do
Trying to keep it cool, cool
But I can't keep cool about it
Acting like a fool, fool
Wanna scream it from the roof, roof
I'm trying to keep it cool, cool
But I can't keep cool about it, about it

You said, "oh, whoa
I won't lose you, no, whoa"

It's only you, you
Who loves me like you do, do
Trying to keep it cool, cool
But I can't keep cool about it
Acting like a fool, fool
Wanna scream it from the roof, roof
I'm trying to keep it cool, cool
But I can't keep cool about it, about it
