Why can't I be like you? You’re flying as high as a kite
Never knowing what you do it for
When you are young, no one tells you anything
They just hope you don't make
The same mistakes and become just like them

Oh, I would wait a thousand years
I'd roll a thousand stars
I'd wait until the sun eclipsed the moon
And I would give the kiss of life
If only you would say
Oh, come live with me and love me
And I will surely stay, I will stay

Why can't I be like you? Your always so wrong but so right
Never knowing what you'd do it for
'Cause you're young, no one tells you anything
I just hope you don't make
The same mistakes and become just like them

Oh, I would wait a thousand years
I'd roll a thousand stars
I'd wait until the sun eclipsed the moon
And I would give the kiss of life
If only you would stay
Oh, come to me and love me
And I would surely stay, I know you'd stay

Oh, I will wait a thousand years
To share my world with you
I'll wait until the sun should kiss the sky
And I would give the kiss of life
If only you would say
Oh, come with me, love me
Just tell me that you'll stay, tell me you'll stay
Tell me you'll stay, just tell me you'll stay
