I Jumped Before You Leaped
By Becca Bessinger ©2016

VERSE 1
You are long talks and dog walks around the block
You’re my wedding date, my never late, my come in don’t knock
You’re my best friend and friends don’t kiss
Last night I changed this

CHORUS
When you told me I’m beautiful
It made my heart race
I know you might’ve made the move
If I’d had the mind to wait
But heart on my sleeve and my hands along your cheeks
I jumped before you leaped

VERSE 2
I didn’t know you liked to dance, we never danced before
I was surprised when you broke in and sent my partner from the floor
I don’t know if it was the wine or the fire in your eyes
But I felt a heat between us start to rise

CHORUS
When you told me I’m beautiful
It made my heart race
I know you might have made a move
If I’d had the mind to wait
But heart on my sleeve and my hands along your cheeks
I jumped before you leaped

BRIDGE
I've been noticing the signs
The brushing of your hand on mine
I can see the devil in your smile from across the room
I’ve been scared to lose the friend I have in you

CHORUS
When you told me I’m beautiful
It made my heart race
I know you might have made a move
If I’d had the mind to wait
But heart on my sleeve and my hands along your cheeks
I jumped before you leaped

TAG
Heart on my sleeve and my hands along your cheeks
I jumped before you leaped
