I'd give the world to you, and I'd mean it   But only if you give me the sky   So I can watch over you all day   And keep the clouds away      Tears roll down from your eyes   And stick to your cheeks like glass   The salt in your mouth   Has dried your words for now      'Cause I'd give the world to you, and I'd mean it   But only if you give me the sky   So I can watch over you all day   And keep the clouds away      Prescribe me sometime so I   Can carry you through the worst of it   Tell me if I'm   Just wasting all my time      'Cause I'd give the world to you, and I'd mean it   But only if you give me the sky   So I can watch over you all day   And keep the clouds away      All of the lights that guide us on   Will burn so bright, tonight   And we'll start the clocks   This is our time to live our lives
