Chorus
I'd rather be alone out on the ocean
Set adrift out on the endless sea (I'd rather)
Be lost in a storm without a coat to keep me warm
Or locked inside a jail that has no key
Than to live without you being here with me

I never thought I'd feel this way about you
I never dreamed that I'd be this far gone
But you're always on my mind, I think about you all the time
I even dream about you all night long

But I haven't heard you tell me that you need me
No, you never once have mentioned how you feel
So dear, I have to know if someday you're going to go
Because my heart will need a hundred years to heal

Chorus

My friends all seem to ask the same old question (they say)
"Is she yours, or is there someone new?"
I don't know what to say, and as they walk away
My worried heart will ask that question too

So if I could borrow Cupid's bow and arrow
or if our love began with "once upon a time"
Then right there from the start you would have me in  your heart
And I wouldn't have to wonder if you're mine

Chorus
