<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0 Underneath the lilac tree
\nI’ll close my eyes and suddenly
\nI’m 10 years old and running through
\nOpen field, chasing after you<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0Sounds of summer fill my ears
\nIf I live 10,000 years
\nI’ll never feel as good as this
\nMoments before our first kiss<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There is nothing to demand
\nNo algebra to understand
\nJust sunlight on a freckled face
\nAnd everything in its right place
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
Simple things turn magical<\/span>
\nMinutes freeze like Popsicles
\nThey drip their seconds down our shirts
\nI love you so much it hurts<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a> There’s no such thing as real time
\nI’ve been yours and you’ve been mine
\nAnd we’ve lived ever happily
\nEverywhere I’ve been, you’ve been with me
\nThere is nothing to control
\nNo question mark left on our souls
\nJust sunlight on a freckled face<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a> <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0There is nothing to demand
\nNo politics to understand
\nJust sunlight on a freckled face
\nEverything in its right place
\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n


And I want to give you<\/span>
A brand new sky<\/span>
Something so open<\/span>
It brings tears to your eyes<\/span>
So clear and so present<\/span>
It doesn’t seem real<\/span>
I wanna show you<\/span>
How you make me feel<\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I wanna give you<\/span>
\nA brand new dream
\nWhere two horses drink from
\nA silver stream
\nAs the trees catch fire
\nThey lift their heads
\nAnd bolt together through the forest
\nAcross our beds<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0 wanna bring you<\/span>
\nFields of flowers
\nI wanna build you
\nEiffel towers
\nTake the clouds in the evening
\nTurn them into stars
\nAnd drop ’em like keys through
\nYour prison bars
\nSearching for you…<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
