I've been trying to write a song about you   I've been trying here but no such luck   And i've been trying to write a song that describes just how much   I need you tonight   And i've working at this song for ages   I wanted to make sure it came out right   I hope that it shows how things really are here    And how i am feeling alright      I wanna write    The soundtrack to your life and live it with you (with you)   I wanna write    The soundtrack to your life and live it with you (with you, with you)      So first i started with this simple beat and   I even added a piano tune   But then i had to think of words that describe    The things i really wanna sing to you   (OH)   So now I'm working on this melody and   I think i can add a harmony   i just want for this song to come together   Then maybe you'd see what you mean to me      I wanna write    The soundtrack to your life and live it with you (with you)   I wanna write    The soundtrack to your life and live it with you (with you, with you)   I wanna write    The soundtrack to your life and live it with you (with you)   I wanna write    The soundtrack to your life and live it with you (with you, with you)      So baby, just remember   As this song hits your ears   I'm trying to turn the way i feel for you   Into something that you can hear   But how can words and music   Explain what love is?   Nothing i can sing do it justice   And i dont know where to start   I just want you to hear the song in my heart   (OH)      I wanna write    The soundtrack to your life and live it with you (with you)   I wanna write    The soundtrack to your life and live it with you (with you, with you)   I wanna write    The soundtrack to your life and live it with you (with you)   I wanna write    The soundtrack to your life and live it with you (with you, with you, you you you)
