Three Minutes (feat. Matt Doyle)

I watched a lot of late-night TV wide awake

Ate tons of fried stuff and slept in til ten.

Saw all those sci-fi film where ev'rything looks fake.

Walked through the park then home alone again.

I sang dumb country songs and took too many naps

Stared into space not moving, like, at all.

I think I spent four weeks just knitting stupid caps.

I'd hold my phone but never make a call.

But all that wasting time was through

In just three minutes after I met you.

Three minutes seem like nothing,

Three minutes go so fast.

But if you find the person

Who makes those minutes last

Look close and if you're lucky

Be smart enough to know

Three minutes can start something

That has some room to grow.

Minute one was just a means

To minute two so I could see

That a lot can happen quickly

And we fell in love by minute three.

I like the way you whistle while you fold the clothes.

You leave a mess in ev'ry room you're in.

It makes no dif'rence, far as peaceful living goes

You keep me calm and that's a total win.

You've got opinions on the way most humans live

We don't agree too much, but that's okay.

I'm happy when we talk, of that I'm positive

You make me better ev'ry single day.

I'm breathing deep and that's no crime

Let's be in love three minutes at a time.

Three minutes while we're laughing,

Three minutes when we're sad.

We break it down so simply

That nothing feels too bad.

I thought before I met you

I'd learned how not to feel,

And if that sounds pathetic,

At least you know it's real.

So I'll take my life in moments,

And count seconds by the score

Then I'll add them all up at the end

And ask for just three minutes more.

So we could have just one more night,

One more fight,

One more kiss,

One more moment like this.

And if we should drift for a day,

That's okay,

When you know

If I go

It's so true:

Three minutes later I'd be running back to you.

Three minutes are enough now,

It's fin'ly coming clear --

Each minute spent so wisely

Is worth another year.

Thank god I wasted time

Until you were standing there.

You knew how much I liked you

I couldn't help but stare.

And I'm grateful for the minutes gone

And minutes yet to be

See, I'm thrilled to find that time with you

Is time I got for free.

Thanks for spending all your awesome minutes

Sitting here in love with me.
