    Don't get me wrong Alicia Keys version of this song was great, but Dallas just makes this song amazing. It just appeals more to my taste. To me the acoustics make this song so much more heartfelt.

    Moment of honesty
    Someone's gotta take the lead tonight
    Whose it gonna be?
    I'm gonna sit right here
    And tell you all that comes to me
    If you have something to say
    You should say it right now.
    You give me a feeling that I've never felt before
    And I deserve it, I think I deserve it.
    It's becoming something that's impossible to ignore
    And I can't take it.
    I was wondering maybe
    could I make you my baby,
    if we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy?
    If you ask me, I'm ready.
    I know you once said to me
    This is exactly how it should feel when it's meant to be,
    Time is only wasting
    so why wait for eventually?
    If we gon' do somthing bout it
    We should do it right now.
    You give me a feeling that I've never felt before
    And I deserve it, I know I deserve it.
    It's becoming something that's impossible to ignore
    It is what we make it.
    I was wondering maybe
    could I make you my baby,
    if we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy?
    Or would it be so beautiful?
    Either way I'm sayin'
    If you ask me, I'm ready.
    Why give up before we try
    feel the lows before the highs
    Clip our wings before we fly away
    I can't say I came prepared
    I'm suspended in the air
    Won't you come be in the sky with me?
    I was wondering maybe
    could I make you my baby,
    if we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy?
    If you ask me, I'm ready.

      The original is probably one of my favorite songs ever made, but after hearing their cover I love it even more if that's even possible. Listen to the original bc it's amazing, but after listening to this its really not that necessary lol.

    Momento de honestidade
    Alguém tem que tomar a iniciativa essa noite
    Quem vai ser?
    Eu vou ficar sentada bem aqui
    E dizer enquanto se trata de mim
    Se você tem algo a dizer
    Você deveria dizer isso agora
    Você me dá uma sensação que nunca senti antes
    E eu mereço, eu sei que mereço
    Tornou-se algo impossível de ignorar
    E não aguento
    Eu estava pensando, talvez
    Eu poderia fazer você meu amor
    Se fizermos o impensável, vai nos fazer parecer loucos?
    Se você me perguntar, eu estou pronta
    Se você me perguntar, eu estou pronta
    Eu sei que você me disse
    "É exatamente essa a sensação
    que deveria ser quando é o destino"
    Estamos perdendo tempo, então por que esperar o acaso
    Se vamos fazer algo a respeito
    Devemos fazer agora
    Você me dá uma sensação que nunca senti antes
    E eu mereço, eu sei que mereço
    Tornou-se algo impossível de ignorar
    E não aguento
    Eu estava pensando, talvez
    Eu poderia fazer você meu amor
    Se fizermos o impensável, vai nos fazer parecer loucos?
    ou seria tão lindo de qualquer forma eu estou dizendo
    Se você me perguntar, eu estou pronta
    Se você me perguntar, eu estou pronta
    Por que desistir antes de tentarmos?
    Sentir os baixos antes dos altos
    Amarrar nossas asas antes de voarmos para longe
    Não posso dizer que não se pode comparar
    Estou suspensa no ar
    Você não vem ficar no céu comigo?
    Eu estava pensando, talvez
    Eu poderia fazer você meu amor
    Se fizermos o impensável, vai nos fazer parecer loucos?
    ou seria tão lindo de qualquer forma eu estou dizendo
    Se você me perguntar, eu estou pronta
    Se você me perguntar, eu estou pronta
