I'm trying hard not to get dizzy
on the twisted road to us
No, I never saw this coming
I'm not the boy I used to be
The man I am now won't be running
Not when I've got her next to me
'Cause she's the only thing that makes sense
In a world that's gone mad
I'm gonna need to have some patience
Until she sees the good in my bad
I'd been floating before she walked in
and brought me down to earth
She's been marching to the wind
ribbons of chocolate trailing after her
I put one foot in front of the other
She's got her own beat
Footprints blowin' away in the weather
Gonna need a new trail, her and me
No, I never saw this coming
I'm not the boy I used to be
The man I am now won't be running
Not when I've got her next to me
'Cause she's the only thing that makes sense
In a world that's gone mad
I'm gonna need to have some patience
Until she sees the good in my bad

“Too much? Too fast? Too intense?” he asked quietly.
I kissed the back of his neck and wrapped my arms around him from behind. “No, no, and no. I don’t even know what to say because I don’t think words can really encompass what I’m feeling right now, but I am incredibly honored, Jude.”
