Lyrics
Choose Me
Remember once when we were driving
We pulled over, danced out in the rain
We were shirtless, traffic howling past
You pulled me to you, held me tightly
Almost kissed me, pulled away again
Couldn?t breathe, my heart was beating fast.
Just one day
Just one night
That?s all it takes to change a life
Cast aside these foolish notions
That we aren?t meant to be
You know our lives are made of choices
So why can?t you choose me?
Choose me.
You?re staring at me, I can feel your eyes
Are burning, I have to look away
Or I think that I will start to cry
You?re getting married, that?s good news
I guess I should be happy for you
But I dreamed that I might be your bride
Just one day
Just one night
That?s all it takes to change a life
Cast aside these foolish notions
That we aren?t meant to be
You know our lives are made of choices
So why can?t you
cast aside these foolish notions
That we aren?t meant to be
You know our lives are made of choices
So why can?t you choose me?
Ooh, I love you
There, I said it
And I don?t regret it
Cast aside these foolish notions
That we aren?t meant to be
You know our lives are made of choices
So why can?t you
cast aside these foolish notions
That we aren?t meant to be
You know our lives are made of choices
So why
why
why
choose me?
Choose me.
