baby i would have loved to take that flight
with you, down to that ocean getaway
to that island in the sun, romantic stay awake
but what comes easily to me
is not just 1, 2, 3, believe and you shall see
i still need the 1, 2, 3 steps that make up the in between
baby i would have loved to play that song
for you, i wrote so you could fall in love
a note for every word, a word for every hum
but what comes naturally to me
is not the 1, 2, 3, everything comes out so easily
i still need the 1, 2, 3 steps to teach me how to sing
baby i would have loved to laugh all night with you
kissed and made up after that fight with you
talked of life inside and out with you
but baby what made scared to me
was the 1, 2, 3 reasons why dad could just get up and leave
i still need 1, 2, 3 breaths to find serenity
baby i’d love the chance to prove
that ocean parkways never end
that yes, we have the same thing drawn inside our eyelids
but now its much too late, it seems
its been 1, 2, 3, too many days since you’ve been close to me
i still have 1, 2, 3 words i feel the need to say....
