Original Song #27: Walking

I was walking today
And I passed a man
A man I know named Harry
Who always wishes everyone well

I was walking with a woman
Not just anyone
But the only one
The only one I care to know

I wanted to jump ten miles
Straight up in the sky
I wanted to write right through the heavens
How badly I want you now
So everyone would know

I could've settled for
Saying Hi to Harry
Holding your hand in mine
And saying this here is my lady
The only one I care to know

I took a little break
I stopped walking away
I synchronized my heartbeat and yours
With the grand wheel of the world
And we stopped time
As long as we could hold our breath
So I turned and ran back
And jumped into your car
And we fishtailed out of here
As we held our breath we found
We could hold it forever
As long as we stayed right together
Just stayed there together
Driving til the end of the world

Now I can't say a word to Harry
I can't say a word out loud
To speak I'd lose my breath
And time would crash upon us
And I'd be walking alone
Walking the world with no end
With no one I care to know
