1. I've looked so long in stranger places
But never found someone like you
Someone whose smile makes me feel i've been holding back
And now there's nothing I can't do.

[Chorus:]
'Cause this is real, and this is good
It warms the inside just like it should
But most of all most of all, it's built to last
(it's built to last).

2. All of our friends saw from the start
So why didn't we believe it too
Whoa yeah, now look where we are
You're in my heart now
And there's no escaping it for you.

[Bridge:]
Walking on the hills that night
With those fireworks and candlelight
You and I were made to get love right.

[Coda:]
'Cause you are the sun in my universe
Considered the best when we've felt the worst
And most of all it's built to last.
