I liked what I saw when I turned down his street
I liked the pretty sunflower he picked just for me
The smile on his face, our hands interlaced, I let him lead the way
Oh we walked, he let me talk, sippin' on chardonnay
I kept it to myself but I wondered when
We'd hit a dead end
I watched my step, put my best foot forward
It's a delicate thing when you're wanting to be someone he falls for
My tendency to proceed cautiously is often mistaken
For my indifference, will the shoe fit after we break it in
I kept it to myself as we rounded the bend
Is this where we hit a dead end
The road we are walking
Is it made for the love we are building up, building up
Will one of us break the heart we are holding
Or when we're old and gray will a path keep unfolding
Till the dead, dead end
(instrumental break)
He liked what he saw but can he carry what makes her
Skin so tough, her heart strong, she needs to be certain
He can bear the weight, he will stay when the journey is hard
Ooo and he'll tell a joke, and she'll laugh cause she knows she can let down her guard
The two will just know it, they both found a friend
To walk with till the dead end
