lyrics

Pacing the halls/ checking for calls/ I never thought I'd fall/ But I was all/
Wrong/ Now I'm just writing songs/ hoping I can find the words to say that/
You're like summer air/ you're running through my heart, running through my hair/
Drowning out all other sounds/ listen to the moment when my heart hits the ground

Well it's not enough to know it's real/ I want to show you exactly how I feel/
In my heart/ right from the start/ I never wanted us to be apart/
I can't wait/ I won't hesitate 'cause I know that this is fate/ never thought it was just meant to be/ but you made a believer out of me

Walking around, looking down/ I just realized that this town's not the same/ and I'm to blame/ for never knowing what it meant when you claimed/
I'm like summer air/ I'm sweet and cool/ and everywhere/ just think of how it'd be for you and me/ if we'd only see

Well it's not enough to know it's real/ I want to show you exactly how I feel/
In my heart/ right from the start/ I never wanted us to be apart/
I can't wait/ I won't hesitate 'cause I know that this is fate/ never thought it was just meant to be/ but you made a believer out of me

I saw you standing right there/ that moment I could compare to parting skies and no goodbyes, well/ we took our chances that day/ never thought we'd end up this way/ but I believe there's a reason for you and me

Well it's not enough to know it's real/ I want to show you exactly how I feel/
In my heart/ right from the start/ I never wanted us to be apart/
I can't wait/ I won't hesitate 'cause I know that this is fate/ never thought it was just meant to be/ but you made a believer out of me
