9 Days to I Love You by Tara Bartley Lyrics
[Intro]
I just finished the best first date of my life
And he's moving across the country in 14 days
I know I'm gonna be heartbroken but, well
You know how people say...
"When you know, you know"
Is it possible to know this soon?
[Verse 1]
This was just supposed to be a Tinder fling
We met on the 3rd
You're leaving on the 18th
Been driving 'round talking 'bout our histories
My heart had been locked up
But you found the key
Things started to change
You thought maybe you'd stay
A little while longer here in my town
Every rational thought's telling me to slow down
(Slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down)
Foot on the gas
Full speed ahead
I'm looking for thе signs
But I don't see a red
[Chorus]
And I'm usually not this quick to fall
Maybe I've nеver been in love at all
I thought that I was a couple times before
But with you I feel so much more
Secure than I have with anyone else
Like I'm finally free to be myself
And all these things are what led to
The 9 days to I love you
[Verse 2]
I've always dated guys younger than me
I'm used to being the one who has to take the lead
But after dinner you took me to a lighthouse
This is like the third date that you've planned now
My feet in the sand
Bare as my soul in your hands
My plans are booked up for the rest of spring
I can't fight the feeling that's blossoming
For the first time
I don't feel scared
My broken pieces are all being repaired
[Chorus]
And I'm usually not this quick to fall
Maybe I've never been in love at all
I thought that I was a couple times before
But with you I feel so much more
Secure than I have with anyone else
Like I'm finally free to be myself
And all these things are what led to
The 9 days to I love you
[Bridge]
Day 1 was innocent
Just a coffee date
By day 2
My heart was in and it was too late
And by day 3
I felt security
Day 4
The first time we talked on the phone
By day 5
I didn't feel so alone
And Day 6
You helped me through something excruciating
Day 7
You said, "let's be more than friends"
Day 8
I don't want this to end
[Outro]
There's been magic in the air ever since you came
And now nothing will ever be the same
With shaky hands on Day 9
I said "I love you"
And you smiled and said
You loved me too
I just finished the best first date of my life
And he's moving across the country in 14 days
I know I'm gonna be heartbroken but, well
You know how people say...
"When you know, you know"
Is it possible to know this soon?
