Did I Make You Up

I've been searching for so long
I've been searching for so long
You took control, you made me feel
As if I could, you made me feel
As if I would, you made me feel
As I really should do anything
Did I live before you came upon the scene?
Did I make you up or are you just a dream?
Can you make this feeling last?
Can you make this feeling last?
I've been searching for so long
I've been searching for so long
My forever man, when you look into my eyes
Did I make you up or are you just a dream?
Can you make this feeling last?
Can you make this feeling last?
You took control, you made me feel
As if I could, you made me feel
As if I would, you made me feel
As I really should do anything
Did I make you up, did I make you up?
Did I make you up or are you just a dream?
I've been searching for so long
I've been searching for so long
I've been searching for so long
You took control, you made me feel
As if I could, you made me feel
As if I would, you made me feel
As I really should do anything
Did I live before you came upon the scene?
Did I make you up or are you just a dream?
Can you make this feeling last?
Can you make this feeling last?
I've been searching for so long
I've been searching for so long
My forever man, when you look into my eyes
Did I make you up or are you just a dream?
Can you make this feeling last?
Can you make this feeling last?
You took control, you made me feel
As if I could, you made me feel
As if I would, you made me feel
As I really should do anything
Did I make you up, did I make you up?
Did I make you up or are you just a dream?
I've been searching for so long
I've been searching for so long
