Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When I'm with you, it doesn't matter where we are

Or what we're doin', I'm with you, that's all that matters

[Verse 2]

Time passes much too quickly when we're together laughing

I wish I could sing it to you, oh, no, I wish I could sing it to you

[Verse 3]

Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, whoa

Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, whoa

Mostly, I'm silent, mmm, silent, la, la, la-la-la

Never think of the right words to say

[Verse 4]

When I kiss you I feel a thousand different feelings

The color of chills all over my body

And when I feel them, I quickly try to decide which one

I should try to put into words, oh-no

Try to put into words

[Verse 5]

Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, whoa

Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, whoa

Mostly, I'm silent, silent, la, la, la, la, la-la-la, la, la, la, la, la-la-la, la

Silent

[Verse 6]

Only the beginning of what I want to feel forever, yeah

Oh-no, whoa

Yes, only the beginning of what I want to feel forever

Only the beginning, only just the start

Yeah

I've got to get you into my life, mama

Got to get you next to me

Yeah, only the beginning, only just the start

[Verse 7]

Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh, heh, mmm-hmm

[Verse 8]

Only the beginning

Only the beginning

Only the beginning

Only the beginning

[Verse 9]

Only the beginning

Only the beginning

Only the beginning

Only the beginning

[Verse 10]

Only the beginning

Only the beginning

Only the beginning

Only the beginning

[Verse 11]

Only the beginning

Only the beginning

Only the beginning

Only the beginning

[Verse 12]

Only the beginning (Come on, now)

Only the beginning

[Verse 13]

(My grandma and your grandma, sittin' by the fire)

(My grandma told your grandma I'm gonna set your flag on fire)

(Talk about)
