| Lyrics: | When I first met cha I couldn’t breathe around you. I couldn’t even try speak around you, But all that I would do is dream about you Hell…I really couldn’t help it But now I wanna scream about you, I don’t ever wanna have to be without you, All I wanna do is just be around you, Ya…did I tell ya that I love ya? When I met you I was on, gone, my mind blown Like I got the lights on but I’m not home Before I said hi, I had heard about you on the phone Dude said he’s got a girl but her friend is alone Came by, said hi, way too high Knocked my food over, spilled it on ya side haha You said you didn’t like me, I asked “Are you sure you don’t?” You got up, got your purse n said “ahem, I’m going home” I laughed n you left, checked that ass, you bet I liked the attitude and the little class in your step You thought that was it, but if I had to guess I bet I’ll see that ass right back in a sec 6 months later we’re talking, n I ask you question If you wanna go to dinner, get a yes then We go, n then the next one, cruising all around, no direction Finally get bold, ready to express that…. We would cruise, all alone Til dawn broke, aw struck, forever we roam N we would drink “drink”, on our own Til the glass broke, hoping that we really belong You are my whole heart, whole soul, got me in a choke hold Can’t breathe, can’t sleep, got me feeling slow, no Way I’m slowing down for a lady, that’s the worst road And suddenly a girl has got me feeling like is church though But I do, I do, let the church bells ring Look at the people that have come n the gifts that they bring Let the ring barer walk, let the whole choir sing Let the sun shine then tell her to me what she really means So I do, I do, shun the clouds and the rain Ease your way out of your skin, leave the past n the pain Release the doves for the peace, throw the rice for the same Now come up to the alter, we got vows to exchange Baby girl don’t you know That we can just take it slow Im so proud to be your man And with you always by my side I had doubts about so many things but now you make me think I can Girl we fuss and fight but its alright Cuz youre the one for me and its so right Oh I know what it could be Forever and a day with you and me For eternity Did I tell you that I love you?

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
