It used to be hard for me to feel at ease
i need my freedom
to come and go as i please
with you i opened up quicker than a shopping mall
now i'm in your hands, and that is all

all these memories i hold onto
fall away when you're around

[chorus]
you're poetry in motion
your words are like an ocean
washing over me when you call my name
when i'm lost, you find me
i feel you right behind me
you whisper in my ear
and i hear you say:
"yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
everything's gonna be okay
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"

i've been known to drink a few too many beers
and lately, all these days apart
are starting to feel like years
sometimes i look at you and say, "who's this?"
you're the million dollar question, baby
i can't afford to miss

all those answers that i search for
were sleeping right inside me all along

[chorus]

right away
i knew you were the one
who'd keep me in line
who'd keep me alive
in the face of my own faults

[chorus]
