I’m beginning to think of a story
A fairy-tale you might say, (oh really?)
Was it really true or was it just a story
It was like a feeling you’d never believe

It was ever so wonderful
Like in autumn when the leaves turn pretty colors
and lying in the grass staring at the stars
but all you want to do is go back to the summer

It happened so fast like it was meant to be
It happened so instantly like 1,2,3
I took one deep breath and risked it all
I asked you out and never felt so free

Hearing the waves roaring
and crashing down on top of you
and feel the wind blow through your hair
swimming in the ocean blue

But that’s not what really happened
It sounds cool, but it didn’t happen that way
It happened an even better way
It was just a beautiful midsummer day

It happened so fast like it was meant to be
It happened so instantly like 1,2,3
I took one deep breath and risked it all
I asked you out and never felt so free

There were lots of people walking
Around us jealous of what we had
It was so special I can’t explain
I felt like my heart was on the freeway

To tell you the truth, it felt like ecstasy
Like I was on drugs that you gave to me
With your pretty smiles and shining eyes
I felt so damn high on the drug you were to me

It happened so fast like it was meant to be
It happened so instantly like 1,2,3
I took one deep breath and risked it all
I asked you out and never felt so free

It’s like you were my answer here
The question of my destiny unreal
Because every time I see you baby,
I feel like I’m walking in midair

It happened so fast like it was meant to be
It happened so instantly like 1,2,3
I took one deep breath and risked it all
I asked you out and never felt so free

But then one day I texted you
And I didn’t hear back for hours,
Until my phone vibrated and it was you,
Telling me our relationship had turned sour

It happened so fast like it was meant to be
It happened so instantly like 1,2,3
I took one deep breath and risked it all
I asked you out and never felt so free

One day I said hi and you said you were busy
And I texted that’s cool with me,
Until you mentioned your final thoughts,
and my emotions became lost in the sea.

It happened so fast like it was meant to be
It happened so instantly like 1,2,3
I took one deep breath and risked it all
I asked you out and never felt so free

I really wanted to work this out,
Because you meant everything to me,
I love your eyes and personality,
You really make my life complete.

It happened so fast like it was meant to be
It happened so instantly like 1,2,3
I took one deep breath and risked it all
I asked you out and never felt so free

Then we spoke on the phone that night,
And what I heard brought me to tears,
I swear I’m scared of losing you,
And my heart fell down the stairs.

It happened so fast like it was meant to be
It happened so instantly like 1,2,3
I took one deep breath and risked it all
I asked you out and never felt so free

You told me I was a burden,
Something getting in your way,
I was holding you back from living life,
And I reluctantly agreed, and let you fade away.

It happened so fast like it was meant to be
It happened so instantly like 1,2,3
I took one deep breath and risked it all
I asked you out and never felt so free

Baby, I just wanted to let you know,
I think about you everyday,
And I dream about you every night,
You’re one amazing girl,
With a stunning personality,
Don’t you forget you’re in my heart,
and you’ll remain until the day I die.
