405

Put my head on a pillow and I watch
You singing Blue Moon on the drive home
You smiled in the mirror with those bright eyes
And you froze time, you're an old soul
How'd I miss the sweetest gaze
All those times you looked my way?
I don't know
'Cause I ran off in the wrong direction
Looking for love when you were stood right there
Under my nose
You gave me your sweater in the late day
Watching rain pour, then you came in close
You taste like vanilla and your hand's soft
Holding my cheek, you're an angel
How'd I ever lose my way
With all those times you called my name?
I don't know
'Cause I ran off in the wrong direction
Looking for love when you were stood right there
Under my nose
'Cause I ran off in the wrong direction
Looking for love when you were stood right there
Under my nose
'Cause suddenly, it's all I want
To keep you safe, away from harm
To make it easy
Don't you believe me?
'Cause suddenly it's all I want
To keep you safe, away from harm
To make it easy
Don't you believe me?
('Cause suddenly it's all I want)
'Cause I ran off in the wrong direction
(To keep you safe, away from harm)
Looking for love when you were stood right there
(To make it easy)
Under my nose
(Don't you believe me?)
('Cause suddenly it's all I want)
'Cause I ran off in the wrong direction
(To keep you safe, away from harm)
Looking for love when you were stood right there
(To make it easy)
Under my nose
(Don't you believe me?)
Under my nose
(Under my nose)
Under my nose
