Like Children Do

Eleven eleven on the dot I held my breath and watched the clock Until it stopped Birthday candles on the cake Every penny tossed in a lake The same wish I would make I'll never look back and wonder where you came from I looked for you in every single crowd Before I saw your face, knew your name It was written in the stars behind the clouds I wished for you Like children do Slow motion in the snow On my knees years ago I let you know "The world stops and I see birds" That's what you said, you're such a nerd But if it still does, then I still do I'll never look back and wonder where you came from I looked for you in every single crowd Before I saw your face, knew your name It was written in the stars behind the clouds I wished for you Like children do I wished for you Like children do Looking up I'm staring into space I float away On a star that's shooting 'cross the sky I wished for you Like children do I wished for you I still do I wished for you Like children do
