Lyrics
When you hold me in the street
And you kiss me on the dancefloor
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that?
Cause I'm yours
We keep behind closed doors
Every time I see you I die a little more
Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls
It'll never be enough
It's obvious you're meant for me
Every piece of you it just fits perfectly
Every second, every thought, I'm in so deep
But I'll never show it on my face
But we know this, we got a love that is hopeless
Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dancefloor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
Cause I'm yours
When you're with him, do you call his name
Like you do when you're with me?
Does it feel the same?
Would you leave if I was ready to settle down
Or would you play it safe and stay?
Girl you know this, we got a love that is hopeless
Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dancefloor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
Cause I'm yours
And nobody knows
I'm in love with someone's baby
I don't wanna hide us away
Tell the world about the love we making
I'm living for that day
Someday
Can I hold you in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dancefloor?
I wish that we could be like that
Why can't we it be like that?
Cause I'm yours, I'm yours
Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dancefloor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that?
Cause I'm yours
Why can't I say that I'm in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
Cause I'm yours
Why can't we be like that?
Wish we could be like that
