Ready Or Not
Air Traffic Controller Lyrics

Ready or not, here I come
I am prepared to pursue this relationship, whether you are ready or not

Well, that's the school of thought I'm from
This is my personal mindset and belief system

I must admit I'm not that dumb anymore
I have learned from past experiences and have become more intelligent in my decisions

'Cause I've been burned, babe
I have been hurt in the past in similar situations

Yeah, I learned to take my time
I have learned to be patient and not rush into things

And I'm sorry that I'm taking yours
I apologize for any inconvenience or discomfort I may be causing you by taking my time

I never wanted it to be like this
This is not how I envisioned our relationship to be

Thought my luck had changed with our first kiss
After our first kiss, I believed that my bad luck in relationships had turned around

It lasted hours
The memory of our first kiss lasted for a significant amount of time

It seems nothing lasts forever
I have learned that all good things come to an end

Listen to me, do I sound happy?
I am questioning my own emotions and perspective on our relationship

Do I sound ready, or not?
I am questioning whether I am emotionally prepared for this relationship

But you can cloud my mind
Your presence and emotions have the ability to affect my judgment and decision-making

Cloud my mind with love
Your love has the power to distract me and make me lose focus

And we could dive in blind
We could take a risk and jump into this relationship without knowing the full outcome

Swim around in this flood
We could experience an overwhelming and intense emotional connection

'Cause it feels good
The sensations and emotions of this relationship are positive and pleasurable

But if we both rewind
If we go back to an earlier time in our relationship

To a time where I had you at 'hello'
To an early moment when we first met

We got a shot, we're not so complicated
We have a chance at making this work and our relationship is not as complex as it may seem

I never fought or hated you
I have never had any negative feelings or arguments with you

This is my ultimatum, too
I am also drawing a line and setting expectations for this relationship

'Cause it's our turn, babe
It is our time to make this relationship work

And we're gonna learn to do this right
We will make an effort to improve and strengthen our relationship

Yeah, I'm sorry that it's taken years
I apologize for the time it has taken to reach this point in our relationship

It could last a long time
This relationship has the possibility of lasting for an extended period

And it could even last forever
This relationship has the potential to become a lasting and committed partnership

Are you ready?
I am once again asking if you are emotionally prepared for this relationship
