You cool your bed-warm hands down
On the broken radiator
And when you lay them freezing on me
I mumble, "Can you wake me later?"
But I don't really want you to stop
And you know it so it doesn't stop you
And run your hands from my neck to my chest
Crack the shutters open wide
I wanna bathe you in the light of day
And just watch you as the rays
Tangle up around your face and body
I could sit for hours
Finding new ways to be awed each minute
'Cause the daylight seems to want you
Just as much as I want you
It's been minutes, it's been days
It's been all I will remember
Happy lost in your hair
And the cold side of the pillow
Your hills and valleys
Are mapped by my intrepid fingers
And in a naked slumber
I dream all this again
Crack the shutters open wide
I wanna bathe you in the light of day
And just watch you as the rays
Tangle up around your face and body
I could sit for hours
Finding new ways to be awed each minute
'Cause the daylight seems to want you
Just as much as I want you
Crack the shutters open wide
I wanna bathe you in the light of day
And just watch you as the rays
Tangle up around your face and body
I could sit for hours
Finding new ways to be awed each minute
'Cause the daylight seems to want you
Just as much as I want you
On the broken radiator
And when you lay them freezing on me
I mumble, "Can you wake me later?"
But I don't really want you to stop
And you know it so it doesn't stop you
And run your hands from my neck to my chest
Crack the shutters open wide
I wanna bathe you in the light of day
And just watch you as the rays
Tangle up around your face and body
I could sit for hours
Finding new ways to be awed each minute
'Cause the daylight seems to want you
Just as much as I want you
It's been minutes, it's been days
It's been all I will remember
Happy lost in your hair
And the cold side of the pillow
Your hills and valleys
Are mapped by my intrepid fingers
And in a naked slumber
I dream all this again
Crack the shutters open wide
I wanna bathe you in the light of day
And just watch you as the rays
Tangle up around your face and body
I could sit for hours
Finding new ways to be awed each minute
'Cause the daylight seems to want you
Just as much as I want you
Crack the shutters open wide
I wanna bathe you in the light of day
And just watch you as the rays
Tangle up around your face and body
I could sit for hours
Finding new ways to be awed each minute
'Cause the daylight seems to want you
Just as much as I want you

WWOOOOWW!!!!!!!!!!! This is one of the most beautiful songs i have EVER heard. And i'm not much of a romantic/pop/sweet/love songs fan(just check my username), but this song just hits me, is is way too romantic maybe even cheesy and that piano sounds like we're watching a Fairy tale movie (which i hate), and the lines sound like the most sickly-sweet words of a soap opera (which i hate even more), but for some reason i find it amazing and inspiring, I can't stop listening to it, i can put it on repeat for hours and hours everyday and i won't get a bit tired of it.
I have to quote Gary and say "I could sit for hours finding new ways to be awed each minute" just by listening to this song. I love everything about it: the almost inexisting guitar, the hypnotizing piano, i love the sound of bells around, and i just ADORE the way he sings it, so perfectly, deep and with feeling.
That's the purest love song ever, and it has an special i don't know what, that makes you love it and make it a part of you soul, somethings that apparts it from most love songs and makes it deep and moving instead of annoying. There are no words t express what that song does to me, like if i was doing in a roller coaster or something, if you've heard it with your eyes closed, you know what i mean, you feel like you're watching the most beautiful movie ever, and is just the story of the song.
And yes, it must be beautiful that someone actually feels that way about you
