You shine, you shine so much brighter, oh

As they come out wrong, but don''t
Run away, run away, this time
And honey let me look in your eyes
You can open them one at a time, but don''t
Look away, look away, this time
Open your mind, open your mind
To know that you don''t have to hide
So please don''t leave me
Don''t meet me outside
Leave me outside, oh no
Oh, and honey I''ll try, honey I''ll try to hold you
Like the starry skies, we lie beneath tonight
''Cause you shine, you shine so much brighter
Oh, oh, oh, oh
So honey let me sing you a song
And listen to my words
As they come out wrong, but don''t
Run away, run away, this time
And honey let me look in your eyes
You can open them one at a time, but don''t
Look away, look away, this time
Oh, I''m walking on a wire, ''cause you''re all I want now
So don''t feed me to the fire, and I won''t let you down
And please don''t hide, these things we say tonight

Oh, they burn like fire, but don''t
Look away, look away, this time
And don''t, look away, look away this time
Don''t look away, look away, this time.
