If my voice could cross the oceans, we’d never be apart
If my thoughts could change time, you’d be mine by now
But as much as I would love to, I can’t surpass myself
I’m still stuck in the mortal bit, you see
If I could disappear, I would be hugging you
If I could have my way, you’d be mine by now
We have the key to each other’s heart
Will it rust if we don’t use it?
I will put one foot forward, take a first step
And from the ashes rise like a firebird
I’ll find out who I am, stand up
And rise like a firebird, rise like a firebird
If it were for me, what wouldn’t I erase?
If I were in charge, what wouldn’t I change?
But it’s not in my power
So I settle for crying…
If my voice could cross the oceans, you’d be mine
If I could transcend time, I’d be yours by now
We say the words to overthrow each other
Will they burn our throats if left unsaid?
[REPEAT CHORUS]
If my voice could cross the oceans, we’d never be apart…
