There's a whole 'nother conversation going on
In a parallel universe
Where nothin' breaks and nothin' hurts
There's a waltz playin' frozen in time
Blades of grass on tiny bare feet
I look at you and you're lookin' at me
Could you beam me up?
Give me a minute, I don't know what I'd say in it
Probably just stare, happy just to be there
Holdin' your face
Beam me up
Let me be lighter, I'm tired of being a fighter
I think a minute's enough
Just beam me up
Some black birds soarin' in the sky
Barely a breath, I caught one last sigh
Tell me that was you sayin' goodbye
There are times I feel the shiver and cold
It only happens when I'm on my own
That's how you tell me I'm not alone
Could you beam me up?
Give me a minute, I don't know what I'd say in it
I'd probably just stare, happy just to be there
Holdin' your face
Beam me up
Let me be lighter, I'm tired of being a fighter
I think a minute's enough
Just beam me up
In my head I see your baby blues
I hear your voice and I, I break in two
And now there's one of me with you
So when I need you, can I send you a sign?
I'll burn a candle and turn off the lights
I'll pick a star and watch you shine
Just beam me up
Give me a minute, I don't know what I'd say in it
I'd probably just stare, happy just to be there
Holdin' your face
Beam me up
Let me be lighter, I'm tired of being a fighter
I think a minute's enough
Beam me up
Beam me up
Beam me up
Could you beam me up?
