Slightly Faded

Like in a ship on a calm, peaceful day
The sway back and forth
The rhythm of conversation
Everything around her slightly faded
Makes you wanna be a better man

So I say to myself
Is this is what I remembered
It's a welcome distraction
From the hum drum of the day

Cause when you smile
The last 5 years don't mean a thing
Now and the future is all  that matters
Please just keep talking
Your sweet smile... melts the past away

If coffee could last all day
I'd hope it'd stay
And if dinner could continue
I'm fine with the menu
And if just talking to you
Could last and last
Life wouldn't be so fast

Everything slows down a bit

The sway back and forth
The rhythm of conversation
Everything around her slightly faded
Makes me wanna be a better man

A lot of my failures
And failed attempts
Seem to make sense somehow
But I still retract my steps a bit
Cause I want to be changed
Can't do this alone

And when you smile
I know I haven't known you that long
But I want to
So I pray that this day
Can last a little longer

So I slow down a bit

The sway back and forth
The rhythm of conversation
Everything around her slightly faded
Makes me wanna be a better man
