It wasn’t the hands of the clock
That struck that night
So many tears I couldn’t see
Through the windshield
I remember light making sounds
Like snapping twigs
Body slowly pulling away
Then I saw you

I swore I’d never fall for someone new
But my eyelashes won’t stop reaching for you
I’m not looking at you as a maybe
I’m seeing into you, to be my baby

Even the lights flickering on
Your sweat dropped skin
Couldn’t hide the doubt inside of
Your let’s pretend
I whispered, “Am I still alive?”
You said, “Of course,
“And I know, cuz we haven’t gone
“On a date yet.”

I swore I’d never fall for someone new
But my eyelashes won’t stop reaching for you
I’m not looking at you as a maybe
I’m seeing into you, to be my baby

I love
That you’re you
And I’m me
And us together
Is just us better
I know
If you run
I won’t fall
I’ll just be missing
My plus one for a while
You know
If I run
You won’t fall
You’ll just be wishing
To again see my smile
For now though
Let’s take it slow
This destiny
Is ours for the taking
You and I in the making

Now that’s you knocking on my door
Five before eight
Picking me up for our first date
Blue eyes, cute smile
It was the hands of destiny
That struck that night
No more tears, now all I see
Is forever we

I swore I’d never fall for someone new
But my eyelashes won’t stop reaching for you
I’m not looking at you as a maybe
I’m seeing into you, to be my baby
