It Would Be You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If there was anyone I'd want to spend about 100 days with
Layin' in the yard, staring up at stars wondering where all the planes went
It would be you
Only you
We might not have forever
No time for taking chances
It would be you
And always you
And when the lights go out
We'll just keep on dancing in the dark
'Cause if the world has got to end
You might as well just end up in my arms
In my arms
(Ooh ooh)
We'll leave on the news until the broadcast stops broadcastin'
Just making drinks instead of plans
While the record player's blastin'
(I sing) It would be you
And only you
We might not have forever
No time for taking chances
It would be you
And always you
And when the lights go out
We'll just keep on dancing in the dark
'Cause if the world has got to end
You might as well just end up in my arms
If the sky turns black, if the markets crash
You should check your mom's house, then you should come back
'Cause when it all goes down, I want you by my side
We could stay up 'til the last sunrise
We could stay up until the last sunrise
It would be you
And only you
We might not have forever
No time for taking chances
It would be you
And always you
And when the lights go out
We can keep on dancing in the dark
In the dark
In the dark
It would be you 'til the end of the world
'Til the end of the world. (Yeah)
'Cause if the world has got to end
You might as well just end up
In my arms
