It's taken 9 long months
To prepare for the day
When my life started change
Endure these hours of pain
And all that runs through my brain
Is that I'll never
I'll never do this again
It only took one second
And one seed
At the drop of a dime
I'm on this life long journey
Falling in love with a person
I ain't never seen
Never seen
I remember the beat
And the pressure of you feet
Kicking inside
Inside of me
Made me smile
When I heard your beat
Now my heart is yearning
Something like a dream
I brought life to you
You bring life to me
You bring life to me
Now my heart is yearning
Something like a dream
I brought life to you
You bring life to me
You bring life to me
Yea
With a little bit of extras
You go from to start life
I thought before I'd have you I could get my heart right
I figured I could change
Hoping I could be that
100% That
Ready for some real life
I guess I wasn't but I still made a break for it
Yea I was eating for two
I made a stay for it
I'm so emotional
I cried a rainforest
If I could have seen it coming
Yea, I would've ran for it
I thought aborting it would be a better time for it
Until I saw a scan for it
A blessing in disguise
You're the apple of my eye
It was just one second
But you made me realize
In just one second
Things change over night
So I start seeing things in a whole new light
One night of pleasure could bring a lot of pain
Sometimes it's worth it to walk in the rain
Sometimes treasure ain't a whole lot of gain
But you're my treasure
Even though it felt stranger
If I had to
I would do it all again.
Yea, yea, for sure I would do it all again
Now my heart is yearning
Something like a dream
I brought life to you
You bring life to me
You bring life to me
I remember the beat
And the pressure of you feet
Kicking inside
Inside of me
Made me smile
When I heard your beat
Now my heart is yearning
Something like a dream
I brought life to you
You bring life to me
You bring life to me
Now my heart is yearning
Something like a dream
I brought life to you
You bring life to me
You bring life to me
Said it's yearning
A dream
To you
To me
To me
