forever and a day

One, two

You feel like home on Christmas day

At 9 a.m. in second grade

Or the feeling that I had the very first time that I saw the ocean

It seems so right, but I don't know

I've flown this high, and crashed and burned before

And I'm tired of scraping pieces of my broken heart up off the concrete

Every time I fall again

But if you asked me what I'm thinking

When you're looking at me

Oh-oh

It kinda sorta feels like you belong

Right here in the middle of my tattooed arms

I could wait forever and a day

Just to hear you say

You can see the future when you're looking at me

Tell me when the world slows down

'Cause I'm stuck in the moment that you turned around

Begging God, "Don't let her get away"

Tell me what it takes

I could love you for forever and forever and forever

And a day

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I'm up and down, I'm back and forth

I swear you're the one, and then I'm not sure

Oh, I'm black and blue from pinching on my skin

Thinking that I'm still dreaming

I call my dad to hear some truth

I asked my mama how she knew she knew

And I wish that God would just spell out a yes or no up in the clouds

So I could know what to do

But when I'm wrapped up in your arms

Under the backyard starlight

Oh-oh

It kinda sorta feels like you belong

Right here in the middle of my tattooed arms

I could wait forever and a day

Just to hear you say

You can see the future when you're looking at me

Tell me when the world slows down

'Cause I'm stuck in the moment that you turned around

Begging God, "Don't let her get away"

Tell me what it takes

I could love you for forever and forever and forever

And a day

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I could love you forever

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

So I'll roll the dice and my whole life

It's all yours if you want it

No way to stop this falling now

I'll reach around and put my hands into your denim pockets

And whisper when the moon comes out

It kinda sorta feels like you belong

Right here in the middle of my tattooed arms

I could wait forever and a day

Just to hear you say

You can see the future when you're looking at me

World slows down

'Cause I'm stuck in the moment that you turned around

Begging God, "Don't let her get away"

Tell me what it takes

I could love you for forever and forever and forever

And a day

World slows down (I could love you for forever)

Turn around

Begging God, "Don't let her get away"

Tell me what it takes

I could love you for forever and forever and forever and forever

And a day
