[Verse 1] I wrote me a book I hid the last page I didn't even look I think I locked it in a cage Wrote a novel Cause everybody likes to read a novel It started with a word And it started pretty well About a rare and fragile bird that I couldn't even spell On the table I think I left it on the table I found the last page in the sky Cold and sweet, like an apple [Chorus] Oh hello Will you be mine? I haven't felt this alive in a long time All the streets are warm today I read signs I haven't been this in love in a long time The sun is up, the sun will stay [Verse 2] The very last breath of the hero of our tale Would you only to guess Did he truly prevail In the the sequel? I guess I'll have to write a sequel My favorite part when I die In your arms like a movie It's tragic, but now the story has its proper end [Chorus] Oh hello Will you be mine? I haven't felt this alive in a long time All the streets are warm and grey I read the signs I haven't been this in love in a long time The sun is up the sun will stay All for the new day [Outro] Will you be mine? The days are short and I wrote me my last rhyme All the streets are warm today I read the signs I haven't been in this love in a long time It's been a long time
