But no one's there

To alter traits that you likely

Dislike in yourself, my dear one

So you may as well

Hmm-mmm

Become someone

Who confronts fears that you're hiding

Unlock the doors where your love's residing

And just free your soul

ADELSO on this

Yes

I'm on the platform right now playing your cherished tune

Scan the audience

And you're absent, not here as they harmonize in tune

I say "You shine bright even barefaced, no mascara

Even lovelier at daybreak"

Oh oh oh

I glimpse the expression you wear, I see you're concealing the scorn

I see you're seeking a hero to lift you from where you've been torn

You wish to glide in the Wraith

You wish to venture on first dates

You desire someone to gift you roses

Someone for long talks, as time closes

Scrub your back as you both share in the water's caress

Yeah

Someone to say you're alluring

Someone to claim it sincerely

Someone to whisper "I adore you" each day, without any pretext

Speaking of someone to grant you calm

Someone to aid your night's rest

Yeah

Someone to lift you when you're down, when solitude's your only company

Need someone who can make things right

Someone who can fling open those gates
