I Just Do

(album: Small Steps, Heavy Hooves - 2007)

Oh so the words have all been said
The feeling's old but it's new to me
I guess I'm scared to death but
Oh I just love you Oh I just love you

Telling my friends, "I gotta go"
That I need rest
But I'm running for the phone
I think Casey knows but
Oh I just love you Oh I just love you

A watch now on my wrist, a collard shirt
And hair clean cut sculpted
I'll iron out the flaws
Come meet your new in-laws
Oh here's the awkward pause

When I look at you,
I've caught myself off-guard a time or two
Those funny times I realize that I've been staring
Way too long and you're done talking
Not to mention I've stopped breathing

I'm such a mess
I'm rushing to open your car door
You lean and open mine before
I can turn the key and
Oh I just love you Oh I just love you

Calling to say hi on your break
In less than twenty words you made
My whole damn day and
Oh I just love you Oh I just love you

In the coffee shop you sipped
Your drink and we all sat and talked
My mind it wandered off alone
To find a thought as beauty
Poured out when you talked

Stand still in my sight
A switch got hit somewhere back in my mind
Just then I realized there what I have
To do, because I couldn't stand to look
At you across another crowded room
And know that you would not be mine

Oh time drags its feet
but somehow you sneak it past me
Night after night
At this rate if you stay with me
I'll go to bed at twenty-three
And wake up sixty-five
Well next to you that would be just fine
That'd be just fine

I'm rushing to open your car door
You lean and open mine before
Oh I just love you
Oh I just love you

You call to say hi on your break
You make my whole damn day
Oh I just love you
Oh I just love you

Oh I just love you
Oh I just love you
