I've been tryna write a song about you
I've been trying here but no such luck
I've been tryna write a song that describes
Just how much
I need you tonight
And I've been workin at this song for ages
I wanted to make sure it came out right
I hope that it shows how things really are here
And how I am
Feeling more

I wanna write
The soundtrack to your life
And live it with you (with you)
I wanna write
The soundtrack to your life
And live it with you (with you)
With you

So first I started with a simple beat and
I even added a piano tune
But then I had to think of words that describe
The things I really wanna sing to you
Oh

So now I'm working on this melody and
I think that I could add a harmony
I just want for the song to come together
Then maybe you'd see what you mean to me

I wanna write
The soundtrack to your life
And live it with you (with you)
I wanna write
The soundtrack to your life
And live it with you (with you)
With you

I wanna write
The soundtrack to your life
And live it with you (with you)
I wanna write
The soundtrack to your life
And live it with you (with you)
With you

So baby just
As this song hits your ears
I'm tryna turn the way I feel for you
Into something that you can hear
But how can words in music explain what love is
Nothing I could sing would ever do it justice
And I don't know where to start
I just want you to hear the song in my heart
Oh

I wanna write
The soundtrack to your life
And live it with you (with you)
I wanna write
The soundtrack to your life
And live it with you (with you)
With you

I wanna write
The soundtrack to your life
And live it with you (with you)
I wanna write
The soundtrack to your life
And live it with you (with you)
With you
