I'm at a payphone
I threw a wish in the well
Don't ask me, I'll never tell
I looked to you as it fell
And now you're in my way
I'd trade my soul for a wish
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this
But now you're in my way
I've wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed
Still stuck in that time
When we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise
I'm at a payphone
Hey, I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's my number
Here's my number
So call me, maybe?
It's hard to look right
At you baby
Here's my number
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two
If happy ever after did exist (I'm wide awake)
I would still be holding you like this (I'm wide awake)
All those fairy tales are full of it (I'm wide awake)
One more stupid love song I'll be sick
Yeah, falling from cloud 9
(It was out of the blue)
I'm crashing from the high
(I wish I knew then
What I know now)
Letting go tonight
(Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down)
Falling from cloud 9
Star-ships are meant to fly
Hands up and touch the sky
Let's do this one last time
Let's do this one more time
One more time, one more time
One more time
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
And we can burn brighter
Than the sun
Tonight
Call me maybe at a payphone
Wide awake and standing on
A star-ship waiting while
We're young tonight!
