Peel the sweat off me,
and I'll take my hat off to you
Sometimes I feel I'm winning,
and I have won all of you
Not that you're a prize to be had,
but you were mine in my head,
and I know it was real for you too
I'll tell you what it's like
To dream of you every night
With you is where I wanna spend my time
With you is where I wanna spend my life
With you
With you
Is that alright?
Please don't misjudge me
I'd die for you in a heartbeat
Sometimes I find myself thinking
I am in awe of you
Not that I'm easily led,
but I'd walk beside you instead,
and if I'm a fool
Then I'm a fool
I'll tell you what it's like
To dream of you every night
With you is where I wanna spend my time
With you is where I wanna spend my life
With you
With you
Is that alright?
