lyrics
[Jay]
I like the way that her hair goes dancing,
The way it spins when she walks
[Mackenzie]
He's sweet and glances at the floor
Then looks at me, how do I know?
[Jay]
I can't explain, but she sends me reeling,
She looks away when she talks
[Mackenzie]
He's turning my heart in my head
But do I show him that at all?
Say the word,
Hold your breath,
And the rest will follow
There's a way
That you'll know
When you're standing there
When you're lost
And you're free
And your arms are empty
Tell me there's something there
[Jay]
I count the days till I see you smiling
And hear your voice on the phone
[Mackenzie]
I look for you in everything
And think of you when I'm alone
Sometimes I'm running away
(sometimes I'm running away)
I'm gonna need you to stay
(I'm gonna need you to stay)
Say the word,
Hold your breath,
And the rest will follow
There's a way
That you'll know
When you're standing there
When you're lost
And you're free
And your arms are empty
Tell me there's something
Say the word,
Hold your breath,
And the rest will follow
There's a way
That you'll know
When you're standing there
When you're lost
And you're free
And your arms are empty
Tell me there's something there
