Swept Away

I never had anything happen so fast
I took one look and i shattered like glass
I guess i let it show 'cause your smile told me you knew
That you're everything i ever wanted at once
There's no holding this heart when it knows what it wants
And i never wanted anything more than to know you
I was swept away
No one in the world but you and i
Gotta find a way to make you feel the way that i do
I was swept away
Without a warning
Like night when the morning begins the day
I was swept away
And so it begins
This journey of love
The summer wind carries us to places all our own
The words of a look
The language of touch
The way that you want me means so much
And i never wanted anything more than to love you
Seeing my tomorrows in your eyes
I was swept away
I hope i wake up soon
I'm a victim of that crazy moon
The very first time you said my name
I knew it would never sound the same
Something about me is changed forever
