Eleven eleven on the dot
I held my breath and watched the clock
Until it stopped
Birthday candles on the cake
Every penny tossed in a lake
The same wish I would make
I'll never look back and wonder where you came from
I looked for you in every single crowd
Before I saw your face, knew your name
It was written in the stars behind the clouds
I wished for you
Like children do
Slow motion in the snow
On my knees years ago
I let you know
"The world stops and I see birds"
That's what you said, you're such a nerd
But if it still does, then I still do
I'll never look back and wonder where you came from
I looked for you in every single crowd
Before I saw your face, knew your name
It was written in the stars behind the clouds
I wished for you
Like children do
I wished for you
Like children do
Looking up I'm staring into space
I float away
On a star that's shooting 'cross the sky
I wished for you
Like children do
I wished for you
I still do
I wished for you
Like children do
