Slow Dancing With a Cowboy
You’re my one
And no matter
Who else comes,
You’re still my one.
Hands reach
For me but still
You’re my one.
I’m a geyser.
I bubble below,
Then I explode
Can you hear it?
Didn’t I tell you?
I’m a geyser.
It’s real, yes it’s real.
But when it hurts me,
It isn’t real enough- but still
It’s real, yes it’s real.
Will I be the one you need?
I can’t be without you.
I won’t run away from you.
Will I be the one you need?
I could take a picture of you…
And keep it in my pocket
So you’d always be with me
But not how I remember
So what’s the point of it all
I could take a picture of you…
I feel like I’m drowning.
Then you make me feel better
And you put blush in my blue.
You’re the sun with my moon,
Even when I’m not with you.
Won’t you please love me now?
Cause it won’t get better than you.
I feel like I’m drowning.
I could look pretty and finally be yours.
You’d be so sweet holding my hand.
Don’t you think we go together,
Can’t you see the initials in lights?
I’ve waited a while, and you waited too,
But let’s go while we’re ahead this time.
I could look pretty and finally be yours.
The secrets between us are promises kept.
But with you, it’s starting out so good.
I’m used to a set up without a punchline,
But you could put an arrow in my heart.
If you wanted me, honey, I could be yours;
And that’s a promise you won’t see me breaking.
The secrets between us are promises kept.
We could talk about everything or nothing.
Even when I’m too tired to let myself go
Or to let myself be touched, I’ll be there.
Even when I’m running from all my fears
Or chasing the wind, I won’t run from you.
We could talk about everything or nothing.
You make me happy cause you’re so sweet.
Just light me up, and watch me glow for you.
I felt worthless when you put a pearl in my hand
And now every breath is easy and I’m happier.
You make me happy cause you’re so sweet.
If we don’t win, can we let this end?
When you say you’ll call me, please do.
Because I spend an hour on my makeup
Just because I know I’m going to see you.
I’ll resist the urge to curse the world
If you say you’ll stay, and then you do.
If we don’t win, can we let this end?
When you say “hello”
I will be the highest heels in the room,
And you’ll be the highest mighty I know.
Doesn’t it all sound grand, sound nice?
I imagine it all cause you get me thinking
When you say “hello”
You must be some kind of magic, I miss it.
I miss the days when you were around me.
But, fear not, I still feel you with me now.
I’m a princess, would you dance with me?
I’m a little loud, you know I’ve got thoughts.
But you still listen to them like I’m worthy.
You must be some kind of magic, I miss it.
I could give you my heart tonight.
I could hold up your world in my sky
Come on and look up, see the stars
Do you see what I see in them
Like you see in me what I see in you
I could give you my heart tonight.
We could call it heaven if you like.
They’ll remember our names,
And if they don’t, it’ll be alright.
You could repaint the entire sky
And I’d just want to look in your eyes.
When I do, this world becomes perfect.
We could call it heaven if you like.
Paint the world in color and bring me to life.
I’m the idiot with a half-painted face now
In the corner, an invisible waste of space.
When you walk in, I’m the star of the show
And nothing makes me feel like that. But you.
Steal a few of my breaths, swear I won’t mind.
Paint the world in color and bring me to life.
I was looking for an ocean, but you are the earth.
I never expected what you are to me before.
Really, I didn’t see you coming into my world.
I was looking for someone to take me by storm;
But you won me over completely with sunshine.
You’re stable ground, and you match my spirit.
I was looking for an ocean, but you are the earth.
You’re like a window in the city.
And I’m not lonely anymore
Maybe I’m all those lost souls
With sad songs of broken dreams
But you make me feel differently
You’re like a window in the city.
Just tell me what you want.
I’m waiting to hear from you.
You’re what I dream of,
It’s just that dreams can’t move
And I really need the truth.
There are people talking all around,
But only one voice I search for.
Just tell me what you want.
They don’t make them like you.
I’m stuck, I want you near me,
But there’s only of you in the world
Is that where all the problems come from?
Most people are cowards, but not you.
You’re a cowboy and I like it (a lot).
They don’t make them like you.
I know no one will save me, but I’d let you try.
I’m a smart girl and that’s not what I need,
But hey! If you’re around, maybe swing by
I could hop on the back of your charger
And we’ll see if we can find a sunset, alright?
There’s a haven out there somewhere to find
Meanwhile, we can just feel alright, alright?
I know no one will save me, but I’d let you try.
We’ve both changed from two years ago.
I’ve been blossoming alone in my room
Cause every drop of rain is glowing,
Shining and singing about you.
I know you’re seeing me in this world too,
But I’m up at night wondering how.
There’s much still to explore of you.
We’ve both changed from two years ago.
You and I are a storm together.
Youngblood running with winds and rain-
A storm without passion is a lake without fish.
A storm is a horse running down long roads.
So you’re the circle I’d love to complete
And that’s why you move me as you do.
You and I are a storm together.
I’m going crazy.
Out there I’m the sharpest knife you’ll find
But you’ll find later that I’m really still soft.
Can you for me be as light as you are dark?
I hope I always see the layers God gave you
We can’t hide and we can’t change,
And we could never stay the same.
It’s funny but it's sad that everyone else does.
I couldn’t see it then but I see it all now.
I’m going crazy.
Cowboy, would you dance with me
So slowly I can feel your heart move
And with the emotions I’m craving,
Cowboy, would you dance with me?
