“Follow the light that glows
Through your bedroom window,
Tonight, the fading twilight.
There's a hollow deep in the woods,
Where you know you're crazy to go,
Not even meant to know there are…
Pictures in the dark, I see all around,
Voices calling underground;
And I'm watching the stars since the world was found…
One, two, three…”

Wipe the insecurities away

Looking out the corner of my eye

Beautiful girl
Don't you throw your love around
What in the world, what in the world
Could ever come between us?”
