lyrics

I just wanna take my time a learn
With a heart on a wire
Stars align before they burn
But I'm not trying to set fires

I've been a dreamer since the day we met
Nothing happened for a reason til Paul sang 'Let it be'
Sang his words of wisdom
Let it be can't you see?

I am a keeper
Your perfect stranger
Give me reason and I will surrender
Who am I but a keeper
I'm your pretender

You carried me on the top of your lungs
As a dance hall drummer lift our feet of the floor
So accustomed to the rhythm

And until that fire drains from our hearts
Patient like a sunset we'll keep throwing stones
Turn them over down road

I am a keeper
Your perfect stranger
Give me reason and I will surrender
Who am I but a keeper
I'm your pretender

Who am I to you
Would you be my pretender
Who Am I to you
Would you be my pretender
