"Billionaire" lyrics

"Billionaire"

There are a million things that can keep a person up at night
And when I close my eyes
I go back in time when everything was fine
And you're still here

There are a million people who will never even know
That sweet look on your face when you're bounding through the door
The secret messages that you left behind
For us to find

If this feeling were currency
I would be a billionaire

There are a million pictures just living in your phone
The history of your smile
Everywhere you ever went is now living somewhere in a cloud
Someone says your name
I always turn around

If this feeling were currency
I would be a billionaire
If this feeling were currency
I would be a billionaire
A billionaire

Grief is love that makes sense
Except for those of us still left
To figure out what to do
At night with all these thoughts of you
Your perfect skin, your smiling eyes
And I can see them in my mind
How your kindness ricocheted through everyone

If this feeling were currency
I would be a billionaire
If this feeling were currency
I would be a billionaire
If this feeling were currency
I would be a billionaire
If this feeling were currency
I would be a billionaire

If this feeling were currency
Oh, I would be a billionaire
If this feeling were currency
I would be a billionaire
