Putting time, putting effort, communication and trust, then we can start from a little
flower and grow into a huge tree.
Well, actually, no.
Flowers don't grow into trees.
But yeah, you get what I mean.
[Em]
Based on [Eb] Malcolm Gladwell's book, The Outliers, obviously it takes 10,000 hours to master
a certain craft.
I was thinking [G] of like mastering love and like, I know a lot of people my age, I'm 22,
we're in that stage where you're looking for someone to like stay with forever, but you're
still like, wait, I'm kind of young.
I don't want [E] to stick to it.
So I was like, you kind of get that confusion, but you still want someone there all the time.
So that's kind of how it came about.
Since the day that I was born, I've been looking out for love, but never really quite found the one.
They say practice makes perfect.
I know I deserve it.
Sometimes we should do it for fun.
I mean, I guess everyone has their different version of the one, so to speak.
But I think you just know.
I don't think you can pinpoint any certain facts.
You can put together the stuff you like about someone.
I mean, there's always going to be stuff that you don't like about someone.
But I think it's just a feeling within your mind and your heart.
It's like, you know, in those [G] situations where your mind's telling you one thing, but your
[N] heart's telling you a different thing.
I think when you know you found the one, it's like they're both intertwined and everything is perfect.
I know we're not too far away.
Ay.
Ayyyyy.
So, for all we put up now, it's just like the effort going into liking someone, going
into getting to know someone.
And then obviously when we say, I won't let your love down, it's a play on up and down.
But also, all of that effort that I've put in is not going to go to waste.
You know like when you're in high school, it's like pillow talk, so to speak.
And then your mum wakes up or something and then you have to like whisper on the phone
because it's so late.
It's just one of those things where you're like just waiting for someone to call you.
But even if you know you have to get up early, you're still going to answer the phone and
you know that you're going to be on the phone for probably like two or three hours.
Up to a minute, need 10,000 hours, we can be so in love.
I've been right and I've been wrong.
I've been high and I've been low.
But this time I know it's for sure.
I'd like to say I can admit when I'm wrong, but I'm quite stubborn.
I'm a Scorpio.
So it takes a lot for me to really accept that I'm wrong.
I will admit it.
It might take me a little while, but I will admit it.
I can definitely admit when I'm right.
I'll tell you that.
But
Because I'm right where I belong.
You're only getting stronger.
Feels good to be down in my soul.
The whole 10,000 hours, just when it all came together in [G] pieces, I was like, oh my god,
this could be amazing.
And then when it just all came together, I was like, wow.
It was like everyone's favorite song [D] for ages.
