If melody is my destiny
Then what's left of me, I'll give to you
And if next to me, is all that you need to be
Would you settle for fantasy if it's the best you could do?

PRE-CHORUS
Can I have my cake?
Can I have you too?
Would you follow me?
Could I ask you to?

CHORUS
Would the world between us break these ties?
We worked so hard to realize
Can a postcard say what I see in your eyes?
Could I ever break away?

Would I be satisfied and find peace inside
Rolling half my life over broken white lines?

PRE-CHORUS
Can I have my cake?
Can I have you too?
Would you follow me?
Could I ask you to?

Will I wake up one morning and see your face
And the streaks on the window that the rainstorm makes?
Could you bear all the waiting and the strength that it takes?
Could I ever break away? Could I ever break away?

PRE-CHORUS
Can I have my cake?
Can I have you too?
Would you follow me?
Could I ask you to?

CHORUS
Would the world between us break these ties?
We worked so hard to realize
Can a postcard say what I see in your eyes?
Could I ever break away? Could I ever break away?

Away, away, oh yeah
