quarter steps & half turns; I want to take this minute by minute.
On the road I want to speed ahead and the pedal is calling my name, and when I sit at work my teeth press into pencils while I watch the clock and will hours to pass at a time; but there are times when I want baby steps, there are times I want to regress & I need to take it slow, and I need every minute that I can squeeze. I need to reach up and hold onto the second hand of the clock and pull it back as far as I can, when I'm drivin' with you and the sun is nearly rising and all I can hear are the sweet sounds of music pumpin' out and the way your hand feels passing over me -- and I need it to drag on and on, during all those days and all those nights when everything is done but you and me.
When each day is long and you just want to rush through, and you feel like you've finally made it to your goal and I've finally made it to you and my lips are welcomed and my eyes are greeted and I've got that warm feeling in my stomach; then I need the sun to hang out a little bit longer, I need the moon to quit callin' my name, I need you.
'Cause I need to savor every minute, I need to take small steps, I need to grow old in every minute waiting for it to pass, because every second with you is what I want to keep lasting for forever in my life; and if I could have one wish right now, it'd be to have the pedal calling my name and the road speeds by so fast and I watch the clock change so quick until I get to you; and if I could have one wish I'd be kissing you and clock watching would be pointless when you make the clock stop & it's perfect.
