..and a rock-step, step, together..
..and a rock-step, step, together..
Quick-Quick, slow.. Slow..
Quick-Quick, slow.. Slow..
..and a 1-2, 3-4, 5.. 6...
Time slows down and my heart skips.
A flowing dress that flows through,
time and time again a I glanced up at you.
Never said a word, just a smile,
Time went on and I didn't see you for a while.
Then one night I was saying bye to friends and I saw you,
said "you're really cute" and I hugged you too.
Then my heart went "Quick-Quick" and time went "slow.. Slow.."
Yet I never would have guessed what I didn't know.
Gone into the night thinking you wanted a friend,
Yet it was so long before I saw you again.
The moment was quick, but waiting for you went slow.. Slow..
Nights passed, you kept dancing In my mind,
My heart beat quick, but slow went time.
The next time your smile met my eyes,
I gave you my number and to my surprise.
You called, we talked I fell in love with you,
And when time slowed down my heart didn't get the que.
Quick-Quick, slow.. Slow..
Quick-Quick, slow.. Slow..
1-2, 3-4, 5.. 6..
My mind said it'd never work, but my heart said "yes.. Yes."
You asked to see me again but the world said no,
I tried and tried yet was filled with woe.
A season passed of talking and you became my best friend,
You were there for me again and again.
Fought off dragons and demons alike,
Found beauty in my strengths and flaws alike.
Then one night as a chill came about, the ache in my chest wasn't from the cold,
all wanted was your eyes lost in mine, and your frame to hold.
I let you down again and again when I couldn't see you,
And I knew it had to end for me to be true.
One night when I didn't say a word before,
I found you on a dance floor as I walked in the door.
Your face lit up and I looked behind me,
Who could cause you to have a smile so scintillating?
I took a second to catch my breath,
and just as I turned around you slammed into my chest.
You smiled as you flipped back your hair,
then hit me for not telling you I'd be there.
Quick-Quick, slow.. Slow..
My heart skipped a beat and I knew then what I hadn't known.
Time went slow but my heart went quick,
for it was already yours and I'd been love-sick.
I knew that I was yours and I wanted you to be mine.
a week later I kissed you for the first time.
A small peck to let you know,
I wouldn't take but I wanted more.
Soon your arms became my true home,
Then I asked you to be mine and mine alone.
Like clockwork my heart went Quick-Quick,
and all of space and time went slow.. Slow..
The earth kept spinning and so did we,
to a Quick-Quick, slow.. Slow.. Mythological beat.
We made it though the cold by each other heat,
we rocked each other when it was hot and kept things sweet.
..and a 1-2, 3-4, 5..
turned from seconds to months, to a year in time.
We've kissed we've fought we've kissed again and made up.
We've jumped and danced and fallen farther in love.
We've gone back in time to the era of knights,
We've made paper chandeliers and lanterns filled up with light.
We've seen starts we've kissed them into the sky,
We've had our lows and we've had out highs.
We've been lovers we've been jokers,
We've curved every outside looker.
We need each other like the bond between molecules,
I'm your king as you're my queen and we're both the loving fool.
After all this time you are mine and I'm still yours,
The one I love, fell for and adore.
So as we come full circle I wanted you to know,
You still make my heart go
Quick-Quick,
as all of space and time goes slow.. Slow...
You will always be my wholly 3, 2... One and only.
