This can't be real My heart is burning How does it feel ? Well, let's say I'm learning It had to come The ship has landed It's time to run The crew are stranded We're having the time of our lives We're lost in a cruel paradise Someone like you could make me feel like I used to do Return my heart, yeah Make it real like it was at the start Someone like you, someone like you, yeah You're everything to me: The sweetest symphony All that I try to be You are my harmony I guess what I mean to say Is you keep the wolves at bay We're children on holiday Here comes the cloud We're having the time of our lives We're lost in a cruel paradise Someone like you could make me feel like I used to do Return my heart, yeah Make it real like it was at the start Someone like you, yeah, someone like you, yeah
