The Way It Should Be
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.
Picture an ocean - that no one else can see
A sea of emotion - just made for you and me
I'd promise you anything if you'd - listen to my plea
And if you let me love you - I'd show you the way it
Should be
Yes if you let me love you - I'll show you the way it
Should be
Picture a sad man - alone inside his dreams
It's just how I feel when - I try to make you see
That you could have anything if you'd - put your trust in me
I'm always afraid of what you might think of me
It could all be the same - the way that it used to be
Picture a castle where - a fool is all you see
I'm living in hope that one day - you might rescue me
'Cos I'd wait forever if I - thought you'd set me free
