I can love
And I can check me
I can choose character over every-fucking-thing
I can forgive
I can forget if I want to
I can better begin all over again
I was singularly minding my business
I felt like my love life was finished
I was satisfied, believe me
I got my music, my family
Genuine friends who love me
Check up on me, pray for me
I wasn’t even feeling lonely
Then you pulled up on me
What a surprise
A universe in your eyes
I couldn’t pretend I wasn’t seeing
What I was seeing and feeling
What a surprise
A universe in your eyes
I couldn’t pretend I wasn’t seeing
What I was seeing and feeling
It took us no time to recognize
We would became lovers, friends, and allies
Time truly moves smoothly when the stars align
Who knew I’d be your one?
Who knew you’d be mine?
What a surprise
A universe in your eyes
I couldn’t pretend that I wasn’t seeing
What I was seeing and feeling
What a surprise
A universe in your eyes
I couldn’t pretend that I wasn’t seeing
What I was seeing and feeling
My lonesome heart just shut down
Honey, I blocked all my incoming calls
Nobody could get close to me
I refused to care at all
Then you showed up
Consistent, vetted, and a friend
You taught me that I could love and be loved
Amen
What a surprise
A universe in your eyes
I couldn’t pretend that I wasn’t seeing
What I was seeing and feeling
What a surprise
A universe in your eyes
I couldn’t pretend that I wasn’t seeing
What I was seeing and feeling
