You And I - AU Master Lyrics
Avalanche City
Lyrics
If you had an empty suitcase
I'd help you to pack it tight
And if you were afraid of darkness
Well I would stay till it was light
If you were a supermodel
I would help you lift your bags
I'd push those paparazzi's over
So you could get inside your cab
If you found your toothpaste empty
I would squeeze out just a little more
And if you had the sweetest victory
I'd high five you till our hands were sore
If you were scared and worried
I would keep you safe and sound
If you were addicted to fabric
You could fill a whole room in our house
If we climbed the highest tree top
And you said you couldn't climb back down
I would build the finest tree house
For our new life above the ground
And when you smile at me so sweetly
I love what happens in your eyes
When they open up to me my darling
It's all I need and it's so right
Oh I have got a thousand reasons
For you to come away with me
The more I look the better you seem
And I hope that in your heart you see
Cause I believe that you are all I want
Cause I believe that you and I belong
