The Girl Outside

You couldn't make it easy if you tried
So I'm gonna save it for the girl outside
I'll take her on a magic carpet ride
We could walk the clouds together
Stay in love forever
If you don't answer what I feel inside
I might try to make it with the girl outside
And all our thoughts together we'll confide
We'll see fairytale cities
When following the lands of love
Who needs the girl outside
When I can ride the time and life with you
Why don't you turn around
And look at me, I often wish I knew you
You overstepped the mark so run and hide
Cause I'm gonna take it to the girl outside
I Won't cast all my little dreams aside
Every flowers hide their faces
By... their places
Who needs the girl outside
When I can ride the time and life with you
Why don't you turn around
And look at me, I often wish I knew you
You couldn't make it easy if you tried
So I'm gonna save it for the girl outside
I'll take her on a magic carpet ride
We could walk the clouds together
Stay in love forever
