Feeling all different kinds of things
We were talking about everything
From the past to the happening
We started talkin' 'bout devotion
The kind that goes on eternally
And I tell her I'm in love with her
But, how can I know that I'll always be?
She just said is it true? Is it true? Tell me now
Thats a promise I can't make and I won't validate
Was I in some kind of mood, I don't know, I don't care
Now I'm sleeping in my room, here I am, back again
I was happy just listening
No intention to be mentioning
We started talking' 'bout the future
Not the notion I was motioning
I'm just so terrified to face up
Like any moment I might wake up
Cause she's the only thing I think of
I told my mother that I love her...
She just said is it true? Is it true? Tell me now
Thats a promise I can't make and I won't validate
Was I being immature, I don't know, I don't care
Now I'm sleeping in my room, here I am, back again
I said we'll see
Oh we'll see
See how we go
Til we know
What the future holds
