You looked beautiful tonight

And I sat there resisting what my heart wants so bad. Oh if only I could tell you or be taken seriously. Oh if only what I said to you carried the meaning I wished. If you knew, would you show me the day that never came? Would you show me how to live and how to smile again? What is it like in your world where it seems so happy from the outside? What is it like to walk on the pavement of another place but Paris? What's it like on the asphalt of my past before I stopped dreaming and started living? Pull me down from my dream cloud and show me what the real world is like.
