Lyrics
Lyin' here with you so close to me
It's hard to fight these feelings
When it feels so hard to breathe
Caught up in this moment
Caught up in your smile
I've never opened up to anyone
So hard to hold back
When I'm holding you in my arms
But we don't need to rush this
Let's just take it slow
Ah, the beautiful beginnings of romance are so intoxicating!
There's nothing quite as exhilarating as the early stages of a romantic relationship. Falling in love produces a biological state that is a similar high to being on cocaine. Enjoy the high, but don’t lose yourself in it. Don’t rush to seal the relationship just because you can’t stand the anxiety of having to go through the stages of falling love. Accept your anxiety and learn to work with it. Don’t lower your defenses. You want to build an authentic relationship attachment, rather than one based on fantasy alone.
Lyrics
Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch of the fire burning so bright
No, I don't wanna mess this thing up
No, I don't wanna push too far
Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby, I'm alright, with just a kiss goodnight
The trio wrote this song about their own personal experiences. In the lines, sung by Hillary Scott, attempt to fight back her lustful feelings, and precariously sighs the line "I don't want to mess this thing up. Scott told Billboard that "there is so much excitement at the beginning of a new relationship ... all the butterflies and that optimistic feeling that this person could be 'the one'. This song is about one of those times when your brain kicks in and tells your heart 'good things are worth waiting for.'“
Lyrics
No, I don't want to say goodnight
I know it's time to leave
But you'll be in my dreams
Tonight
Anticipation is a beautiful experience in relationships.
Some anticipation is a mandatory step in the dance of love. Without it, I don't think we develop a feeling of vulnerability, and though being vulnerable can be uncomfortable, it’s a necessity if you want to be in love. That is, being vulnerable is both a curse and a gift.
Intimate relationships are worth their weight in gold. They are incredibly valuable to your future, spiritual growth and maturity as a human being.
Think about this…
Have you been slow and careful in building your romantic relationship?
Are you able to build anticipation in your romance? This can be accomplished in simple ways such as a text letting them know you look forward to holding them later that night.
Key Take Aways
You want to build an authentic relationship attachment, rather than one based on fantasy alone
Some anticipation is a mandatory step in the ongoing dance of love
Intimate relationships are worth their weight in gold
