[Intro (Half-Verse)]
I was doing fine alone,
Friday nights and a quiet sky…
Then you walked in.
[Verse 1]
I was fine with the quiet, the night and me,
Just a porch light burning and an old oak tree.
Friday nights and a sky full of moon,
Didn’t need nobody in that empty room.
Had my heart locked up good and tight,
Like a screen door closed in the summer night.
Then you walked in laughing soft and low,
And something in me let go.
[Chorus 1]
Didn’t see you coming, not even a sign,
Just a quiet little moment changing my mind.
Like a slow song drifting through a barroom guitar,
Or a late-night wish on a falling star.
I was fine where I was… or so I thought,
Till you showed up with the love I forgot.
[Verse 2]
You talk in ways that feel like home,
A voice I crave when I’m alone.
We’re night and day, blacktop and rain,
But love don’t care—it came anyway.
You take my hand like you’ve always been there,
Like the answer to a half-spoken prayer.
Funny how fate slips through
When you don’t see it coming too.
[Chorus 2]
Didn’t see you coming, didn’t know I’d fall,
Thought my heart was steady, thought I had it all.
Like a slow dance turning under the stars,
Or headlights drifting past old backroad bars.
I was walking alone down a road so long,
Till you showed up and proved me wrong.
[Verse 3]
Now every road feels a little less long,
Every sunset’s a sweeter song.
Your hand in mine makes miles fly by,
Like the whole wide world just fell in line.
I was steady, safe, and standing still,
Never chasing love, never chasing thrills.
Then you rolled in like a summer storm
And showed this heart what it was for.
[Bridge]
Maybe every lonely mile I drove
Was just another step down your road.
Every quiet night I knew
Was just the dark before you.
[Final Chorus]
I didn’t see you coming… but I see you now,
Like the sun breaking through the clouds somehow.
Like a slow dance spinning under the stars,
Or headlights fading past old backroad bars.
Funny how love finds you out of the blue…
I didn’t see you coming—
But I’m glad it was you.
[Outro]
I didn’t see you coming…
But I’m glad you did.
