[Verse 1]

Take a look into these eyes

And tell me what you see

I built your trust just like this world

Hopefully, it won’t end badly

Take these whispers in your ear

And tell me what you hear

Crashing the world brick by brick

Told you all it would end badly

[Chorus]

I would like to build this world around you

And I would like to crush this world around you

[Verse 2]

Don’t you forget

That there were ways around

The mess that I had made

Take it in stride

Cause you are all I need

[Chorus]

I would like to build this world around you

And I would like to crush this world around you

[Bridge]

Let me in, let me in, let me in baby

Let me in, let me in, let me in darlin'

Let me in, let me in, let me in baby

Let me in, let me in oh honey

Let me in, let me in, let me in love

Let me in, let me in oh honey

Let me in, let me in, let me in baby oh

Honey, I built all these things for you

Honey, what do I have left to prove?

[Verse 3]

Beyond the moon

Beyond the stars

Is a place inside my heart

I built all these things for you

Something no mortal would ever do

Take what I’ve given and try to leave

Take what I’ve given and try to leave

[Chorus]

I would like to build this world around you

And I would like to crush this world around you

[Coda]

Around you
