Fast Foward

Lyrics

Verse 1 You were wearing a beautiful turquoise dress, Small town room at ol montebello English, I saw you first but you missed my eyes, Just a passing spark in the by-and-by. Didn’t say a word, didn’t make a sound, Just one quick glance when you turned around. Verse 2 Fast forward to a party night, Neon glow and strings of light, You saw me there but I looked away, Funny how time likes to make us wait. Truth was hiding in plain view, Our forever waiting on its cue. Pre-Chorus Fast Foward to Karaoke at your sister house, I asked my heart if the time was right. Didn’t feel ready, still felt sure, Something about you felt honest and pure. Chorus I don’t want the shortcut, I want the miles, The tears, the turns, the midnight trials. From nervous words to “I do” vows, I’d choose you then — I choose you now. Verse 3 - Fast Foward You invited me to your brother’s anniversary bash, I showed up nervous, heart beatin’ fast. But the minute I saw you, my worries all ran, Like dust on a backroad kicked up by a van. Didn’t know that night what was waitin’ for me, That one day your whole crew would feel like family. I wasn’t there long — my ride said “let’s roll,” But leavin’ you there kinda tugged at my soul. Didn’t wanna say goodbye, didn’t wanna lose track, So I made me an account just to message you back. Signed up, logged in, took a shot on a whim — Best click I ever made was that “follow” and “send.” 🤠🎶 Verse 4 — Permission Moment Fast Foward - I was shaking in that living room chair, Heart in my throat, courage thin as air. Your daddy sat quiet, looking through me, I prayed for the words to come out steady. My voice came low, my hands held tight, I asked to date his baby girl that night. Verse 5 — Bible Moment Fast forward later — the Bible wide, He turned to the page and read that line: “Better I give her to you than another man,” He said it slow — like a heaven-sent plan. Your tears fell soft, your smile unseen, When he read Genesis twenty-nine: nineteen. Chorus I don’t want the shortcut, I want the miles, The tears, the turns, the midnight trials. From nervous words to “I do” vows, I’d choose you then — I choose you now. Verse 6 Wedding music and a dance floor, You never looked that beautiful before. Held you close as the music played on, Knew right then I was finally home. Every season — joy and strain, Morning laughter, midnight rain. Verse 6 Sofia we walked through valleys, through heavy loss and doubt, I lost my way — you waited it out. I made it heavy, I made it hard, You kept loving with an open heart. Your loyal love pulled me back, truth came in view, I found my way right back to you. Bridge Sofie, you will always be the love of my life, Sofie, you will always be the love of my life, Through bumpy backroads, trouble, and strife. Even little Dolly knows your love’s the key, She runs to you before she runs to me. Final Chorus I don’t want the shortcut, I want the miles, The tears, the turns, the midnight trials. From nervous words to “I do” vows, I’d choose you then — I choose you now.
