音乐咖啡厅:Jason Mraz - Quiet

I want to,
I want to hold you
Every time I go home
There's another cellphone tower
Construction getting louder,
Paving¹ over yesterdays
You and I,
We will try to find the side of it
That's pretty
While our town becomes a city,
We won't let it be erased²
Empires rise, empires fall
Will you be my constant through it all?
I will hold your hand and watch the world
Spin idly around this life we're in
Oh yeah everything goes quiet
When it's you I'm with
Oh yeah everything goes quiet
When it's you I'm with
You, you, you...
Every once in a while,
You know I get these
Real bad headaches
Worried about the mistakes
That I've made along the way
You and I, we can't hide from the fact
That we need each other
How else will I recover
When the fever comes again
Temperatures rise
Temperatures fall
Will you be my constant through it all?
I will hold your hand
And watch the world spin idly
Around this life we're in
Oh yeah everything goes quiet
When it's you I'm with
Oh yeah everything goes quiet
When it's you I'm with
You, you, you...
There are no words, no words when
I'm with you, you, you
Every time I hear music
They've added more stuff³ to it
Things are always moving
Into a futuristic place
Where you and I will try
We'll try to dance into tomorrow
But time will have to borrow
Not a minute left to waste
Heartbeats rise, heartbeats fall
Will you be my constant through it all?
I will hold your hand
And watch the world spin idly
Around this life we're in
Oh yeah everything goes quiet
When it's you I'm with
Oh yeah everything goes quiet
When it's you I'm with
Everything goes quiet
When it's you I'm with
Everything goes quiet
When it's you I'm with
