[Verse 1]
If I had the time
I would run away with you
To a perfect world
We'd suspend all that is duty or required
[Verse 2]
Late last night, you cried
And I couldn't come to you
But on the other side
You and I, inseparable and walking, yeah
Oh woah
[Verse 3]
We could steal away
Like jugglers and thieves
Or we could come and go, oh
And talk of Michaelangelo
Oh woah
[Bridge]
If we had the time (If we had the time)
We had the time
[Verse 4]
The day you looked at me
Pain was on your mind
The world is no one's dream
We will never ever find the time
Oh woah
[Verse 5]
If we had the time
I would run away with you
To a perfect world
To a perfect world
