I had no clue what I was doing no idea I needed you
So young so dumb so confident that everything would fall right into place
Chewed up spit out I'm not that special; So much to recommend them meanwhile I hide out all doubt strike Out and pout go home alone and dazed
But then one day I lost every thought I was struck then and there on the spot
Didn't think didn't choke didn't ask Felt a feeling I knew wouldn't pass
And like a spell I fell into your eyes Immediately I knew I had to try
I knew there wasn't any other prize Can it be true that we were both surprised?
Years go by and the stories lengthen so embellished the truth is often gone
No facts are left and so you tell yourself the version you hold dear
That's not me no exaggeration: I knew the very moment you sat down
Somehow I didn't doubt I tried it out I had no hint of fear
In that moment I lost every thought I was struck then and there on the spot
Didn't think didn't choke didn't ask Felt a feeling I knew wouldn't pass
And like a spell I fell into your eyes Immediately I knew I had to try
I knew there wasn't any other prize Can it be true that we were both surprised?
And I'm old now so please do feel free to believe what you want to believe
It was truly a stoppage of time What a magic enchanted sublime
And like a spell I fell into your eyes Immediately I knew I had to try
I knew there wasn't any other prize Can it be true that we were both surprised
