SWEET GIRL
Intro — Spoken
Funny how a few lines of poetry... can turn into something real.
Verse 1
Sweet girl… I scribbled down a line
Didn’t plan it — just spilled out in time
My pulse won’t quit, it skips a beat
Can’t tell if it’s your heart… or just my feet
You signed your name with just one star
And dotted the “i” like a shooting scar
Chorus
Sweet girl, you take my breath away
You somehow make the grey days fade
And I don’t know — is this all pretend?
Or something real we don’t have to defend?
Sweet girl… I’m trying to choose
But I’m fallin’ — yeah, fallin’ for you
Verse 2
I read your note out in the rain
The ink ran wild — kind of like your name
You wrote, “Love finds its way through haze”
I don’t know… but I’ve been stuck for days
Just the thought… of what you feel
It knocks me sideways — makes it real
Chorus
Sweet girl, you take my breath away
You’ve got that way of changin’ my days
So tell me now — am I just some muse?
Or are we both scared to really lose?
Sweet girl… don’t keep me confused
'Cause I’m fallin’ — fallin’ for you
Bridge
I’ve faked it once or twice before
But this one, girl… I’d fight a war
I’ve walked away when dreams got thin
But not this time — not if you let me in
Final Chorus
Sweet girl… I can scribble too
But every page still bleeds back to you
No clever twist, no last excuse
You’re not a dream — you’re not a muse
Sweet girl… you lit the fuse
And I’m fallin’… fallin’ — yeah, it’s true
I’m fallin’… in love with you
Outro Tag
Yeah, I’m fallin’…
Not just writing…
This time… it’s true.
