lyrics

I'm surprised
By the light around you
By the things about you
That I never knew

Can you tell
That I'm so determined
There's an undercurrent
Between me and you

I'm surprised
That you're here beside me
That I'm still deciding
Just want to do

Not a sound
Not a single word
Could ever change what I heard
When you first spoke to me

If I'm ever alone again
I will be an impossible man
After you I could never defend
What ever I was

Like a wristwatch
Needs to tell the time
And a poetess needs a secret line
I turn around, there you are
With a remnant dress and a Wonder Bar
Standing in the elevator
The door is closing
So it's now or later, now or later…

I can tell
This is more than I see
That you still remind me
Of what it can be

This is real
This is real forever
And you can do whatever
Surprises me
