[Verse 1]
I was tired of the highway
Dust on my tongue
Caught my face in the window
Didn’t know that I’d come undone
Pulled in for a coffee
Change in a jar
You laughed at the sugar
Said
“You’re stirring it like it’s your heart”
[Chorus]
By sheer coincidence
You walked into my day
Like a lost verse
I’d been trying to say
All these roads
All these wrong turns
Led me right to your presence
Call it fate
Call it grace
Call it sheer coincidence (hey)
[Verse 2]
You asked where I came from
I said
“Too many towns”
You traced all my stories
Like scars you could count
You said
“Man
You look weathered
But your eyes still shine”
I said
“Girl
You sound dangerous”
As you finished my line (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
By sheer coincidence
You walked into my day
Like a lost verse
I’d been trying to say
All these roads
All these wrong turns
Led me right to your presence
Call it fate
Call it grace
Call it sheer coincidence
[Bridge]
I was sure I’d seen everything
Bars and back doors
Midnight trains
Then your laugh cut through the room
Like a match in a dark old vein
If I had been five minutes late
If you hadn’t missed your bus
Tell me how a thousand separate lives
Fall together like this
Like us (hey, hey)
[Chorus]
By sheer coincidence
You walked into my day
Like a lost verse
I’d been trying to say
All these miles
All these long years
Suddenly make sense
Call it fate
Call it grace
Call it sheer coincidence (oh)
Call it fate
Call it grace
Call it sheer coincidence
