I saw you in a dream
But you never told me
Your name
I never thought I’d be
That girl that’s always in slow motion
You know
The chick with the
Wind in her hair
And the foxy music
In the background
You never realize
Things like that
Until it’s too late to capitalize
But maybe
That’s what makes it work
The music
The wind
The girl
She smiles
And the sun peeks through
A cloud
But even if she ever speaks
You never seem to say
More than hi
But maybe
Just maybe
She loves you
And you’re the man of her dreams
And she’s too nervous to
Say something clever
So all she says
Is hi
As she waits
Hoping against hope
That you’ll tell her
Your name
Cause at the time
She doesn’t feel
Very beautiful
She feels awkward
And boyish
And at a complete loss
For words
Even though
She’s really very clever
None of that matters
In the moment
Cause she can’t figure out
How to ask you your name
Without seeming uncool
And everything counts on
You thinking she’s cool
Cause you are
Beautiful beyond words
And she can’t understand
Why you don’t speak
Even though you smile
And stare
As she blushes and fidgets
And feels 13 again
Maybe everybody else
Can see what’s really going on
But you only know
She’s beautiful
And you’re not so special
And she only knows
You’re special and
She’s not so beautiful
But somewhere deep down
She doesn’t care
Cause she’ll never see you again
So she leans over
And says something
Funny, clever, and suggestive
And all she can think of is
Oh-my-God that was stupid
I am so lame
I can’t believe I said that
I don’t even know your name
And he’s laughing
Cause you can’t believe she spoke
She spoke to you
And you’re laughing like and idiot
Stop laughing and say something
At least give her the sexy look
She looks right in your eyes
Oh-my-God you’re sexy
She blushes
You turn away
The rest of the night is a blur
She hugged you
As you said goodbye
But still
You don’t know her name
Cause you held on to the momentum
The music
The vibe
The casual conversation
And she could never
Relax enough to contemplate
The situation and say
Hey
I still don’t know your name
It was all she could do
To try and be cool
So you’d like her
But all she could do
Was stare at the moonlight
In your eyes
As you were mesmerized
By the sunlight
In her hair
As the music made everything
A bit more surreal
She’s convinced that you’d
Never fall for a girl like her
And you’re just trying to hold on
As long as she’ll stay
This moment can’t last forever
Or can it
You call to her as she walks off
Not sure what you’ll say
But you can’t let her go
Even though you
Love the way she walks
She turns around
And you offer her a ride to
Wherever she’s going
She accepts
You ask her where she’s going
She says
With you
She smiles
You smile
Hey
I still don’t know your name
You tell her
She tells you hers
And suddenly
You can’t breathe
Cause you know
You got the girl
Boy meets girl
Girl meets boy
And they live
Happily ever after
Until the world comes between them
Reality
The music fades
The wind dies down
And you realize
Life doesn’t move
In slow motion
But she knows your name
And you know hers
And one day
In a crowded room
She’ll see you again
And she’ll call to you
Even though you make her forget
Everything but the gleam
In your eye
As you smile alluringly
And she blushes
As you fumble for words
The words
That make a moment
Seem like a lifetime
I never thought I’d be
The girl that’s always
In slow motion
But when I woke up
You called me by my name
And all of a sudden
I felt beautiful
