Definitions will spawn in a new window (Wordnet):

i pretty much basically totally love you

mandolyn

remember	1
when you wrote my initials	2
on a telephone pole?	3
and i danced for you	4
five miles down the road ...	5

the sky was barely breathing,	6
like a war was going on up there	7
and i was blushing at your sweaty face	8
because it reminded me of dirty language	9

you almost threw my field away, but instead	10
you said Montana was a gold coin	11
as long as i was there;	12
and the copper lung of Autumn	13
would soon spit out this unusual hell ...	14

well,	15
i'm sitting here tonight	16
watching the hills rotate around the river	17
and the heart shaped cloud from this morning	18
has turned into a game of checkers	19

funny thing is,	20
i can't remember what color you said	21
would show up in my eyes tomorrow,	22
or if i flossed my teeth last night	23

i like when we're too happy to notice things	24
was i behind a Ford today, going 80mph?	25
it's like	26
i'm almost exactly in love	27
