Serious
Duncan James & Sheridan Smith Lyrics

We both know why we're here
We understand the reason why we are together in this moment.

I see it in your eyes
I can tell from your expression that you also recognize why we are here.

I guess it calms my fear to know it's not a surprise.
It eases my anxiety to know that you are not caught off guard by our situation.

I thought one look at you looking like a dream come true would leave me speechless like you always do.
When I saw how amazing you looked, I expected to be struck dumb like I usually am around you.

But now we're wide awake and we've got some plans to make. Let's take some action, baby.
Now that we are both alert and aware, we need to make some decisions and start working towards our goals.

So baby give me your hand. I've got some dreams to make true. I've got the future all planned. It's time to get serious, time to get serious with you.
I want you by my side as we pursue our dreams and I am committed to making those dreams a reality. It's time for us to approach life with a more resolute attitude.

I never thought that I - Uh honey, I'm not finished. Oh, sorry!
I was about to say something, but I didn't quite finish my thought. Sorry for interrupting.

Since I was two or three (mmhmm) My life was planned out neat (mmhmm) I'd get my law degree (yeah) And then win my senate seat (mmhmm) A big white house back east (uh oh) All of the amenities (yeah) Three kids at least just like the Kennedys.
From a very young age, I had a clear idea of what my life would look like. I planned to pursue a career in law and eventually become a senator, complete with a luxurious home and a family similar to the Kennedys.

Here's where our lives begin (our lives begin) But just where do you fit in? (Fit me in!) I'll break it down now baby!
This is the start of our relationship, but I need to know how you fit into my plans for the future. Let me explain further.

So baby give me your hand (here's my hand here's my hand) I've got some dreams to make true (We've both got dreams to make true) I know that you'll understand (Oh yes I understand) It's time to get serious time to get serious!
I want to work towards our shared goals together and I trust that you will be supportive of my plans. We need to take a more determined approach to our future.

Serious (serious) gotta wake up and take our journey Serious (serious) I'm telling you as a future attorney You want the moon and sky (ahah) then take it don't be shy (okay!) Baby Thats why you and I (You and I) Should break up...
We need to face our journey with a serious mindset and I am reminding you of my aspirations as a future attorney. If you want something, don't be afraid to go for it. That's why I think we should end our relationship if you can't be supportive of my ambitions.

Yes baby I'll give you my hand, we - WHAT!? You're breaking up with me? I thought you were proposing.
I was willing to commit and work towards our goals together, but now you are breaking up with me instead of proposing like I hoped you would.

Elle, if I'm going to be a senator by the time I'm 30, I'm gonna need somebody Serious! Less of a Marilyn more of a Jackie Serious, somebody classy and not too tacky (WHAT!) Okay that came out wrong! Baby lets both be strong! I mean we've known all along (Just shutup!)
I need a partner who is serious and can support me as I work towards my political ambitions. I don't want someone flashy or trashy like Marilyn Monroe but someone elegant like Jackie Kennedy. Sorry for the insensitive way I expressed that. We both need to be strong and committed to our own goals while being supportive of one another.

What does that mean I'm not a Jacky? I'm not serious, but I am seriously in love with you.
I don't understand what you mean by that remark. Even though I don't fit your ideal image of Jackie Kennedy, I am deeply in love with you.

Baby my futures all planned I've got some dreams to make true I thought that you'd understand It's time to get serious time to get serious Check please
I have a clear plan for my future and I hoped that you would understand and support me. We need to take a more focused approach towards our goals. I think it's time to leave now (Check please).
