“We’ve been together less than a week, but I swear it seems like to 2 years at least. Whether face to face or over the phone, when I hear your voice, I’m right at home. You’re so beautiful – more than a man could ever want, girl. Got me looking for cameras to see if I’m being punked. Trying to take it slow. Ain’t no sense in lying to you or to myself.” This first verse brings a confession by the singer of the song. He has been dating this girl for a short time, but the connection and vibe that they have makes it seem as if it’s been much longer. Part of me thinks that they have been talking for a while before they became official, which helps this make more sense, but no matter the timeline, he feels that it’s probably too short for him to feel the way that he does. Yet, he recognizes the comfort that he finds with her and the beauty that defines her. Things seem too good to be true, and he finds himself checking to make sure that this is real, because it feels like a dream or a scripted TV show.
“I know it’s early. I know it’s soon, but truth be told, I think I love you. It’s unexpected, so out of the blue. Gotta let you know – I think I love you.” And the chorus breaks out just what he feels. He recognizes that the time has been short, but he cannot deny how he feels. He feels that he loves her. The depth of his feelings has caught him off guard, but he wants her to know how he feels. [Now, this is where the things I’ve learned about love in the time since starting this blog are beginning to stir within me. This might just be how I function, but I have come to understand love as a basic way of relating. Does that mean that I love someone as soon as I meet them? No. But as I get to know a person, especially if I can feel some resonance with them, I begin to love them. This doesn’t mean that I’m in love with everyone I know or that I want to romantically involved with them all. It means that I have a level of care for and commitment to each person I know, and I want to see them happy and grow, becoming the best that they can be. In my mind, this is love. As I explained to a friend recently, I am an all or nothing person in relationships. I'm selective as to who I really let in, but if I care about you, I care for real.]
“The way you touch me. The way you look at me. Everything about you is so, so sexy. You do your own thing. You got your own money. Everything about you is so damn beautiful. More than a man could ever want, girl. Got me looking for Ashton to see if I’m being punked. Trying to take it slow. Ain’t no sense in lying to you or to myself.” His girl has everything – beauty, independence, sexual appeal, etc. The connection they have is phenomenal, and she affects him in a major (positive) way that blows his mind. Because of this, he is even looking for Ashton Kutcher to come out from hiding and tell him that he’s been punked, because there’s no way anything this awesome could be real.
“I never felt this way so fast, so fast about anyone. Hate to admit it but I got it bad, baby girl. But it’s a good thing.” In his previous relationships, time has never brought a love like this so quickly. He’s got it bad, but he sees it as a positive. While the timetable on the love is surprisingly short, he is okay with it, because of the beauty that he experiences in the situation.
