BY SURPRISE

 

I tried to avoid him

To no avail

Then I tried to warn him

This would never be a fairy tale

He would not listen…

 

He bought me flowers

They were no roses

He tried to tie me down with daisy chains

Wrapped their little roots around my wrists

Injecting their sweetness straight into my veins

And I succumbed

(Yeah I succumbed)

 

Oh hold me in the dark

You leave your mark on my mind

I know you’re not the one for me

But I sure like your company

 

He ain’t no Romeo but he’s got a heart of gold

And beneath the moonlight I have stared into his soul

Stripped away the layers that defined him

Leave the past long gone behind him

 

Oh hold me in the dark

You leave your mark on my mind

I know you’re not the one for me

But I sure like your company

 

I’m catching you

Just like a stone

Thrown

Out of the blue

Yeah I’m catching you

Just like a stone

Thrown

Out of the blue

 

Oh love is unpredictable

And often nothing logical

I’m pulled by something mystical

He takes me

By surprise
