Lyrics
She walks in and I’m suddenly a hero
I’m taken in, my hopes begin to rise
Look at me, can’t you tell
I’d be so thrilled to see the message in your eyes?
You make it seem I’m so close to my dream
And then suddenly it’s all there
Suddenly, the wheels are in motion
And I, I’m ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly, I don’t need the answers
‘Cause I, I’m ready to take all my chances with you
And how can I feel you’re all that matters?
I’d rely on anything you say
I’ll take care that no illusions shatter
If you dare to say what you should say
You make it seem I’m so close to my dream
And then suddenly it’s all there
Suddenly, the wheels are in motion
And I, I’m ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly, I don’t need the answers
‘Cause I, I’m ready to take all my chances with you
Why do I feel so alive when you’re near?
There’s no way any hurt can get through
Longing to spend every moment of the day with you
With you
Suddenly, the wheels are in motion
And I, I’m ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly, I don’t need the answers
‘Cause I, I’m ready to take all my chances with you, ooh
