Dynamite

I thought that no one
Would come
No Prince Charming
No knight in shining armor

I made my peace with quiet nights
With almosts and maybes
Learned how to hold my own hand
In the dark

But then you walked in
Like you weren’t meant to
Like you didn’t know
What you were about to do

And a spark
Hit me like
A dynamite
One look, one breath
And the ground gave way beneath my life

I wasn’t looking
I wasn’t praying
I wasn’t wishing on stars
I was just breathing

But you smiled
And the room caught fire
February cold
Couldn’t touch the heat rising higher

(Chorus)
It’s the sparks I didn’t ask for
Lighting up my skin
It’s the way you feel like home
Before I let you in
I was steady, I was fine
Just surviving every night
Then a spark
Hit me like
Dynamite

You don’t wear a crown
You don’t carry a sword
But you fight for me
In ways I never knew I needed before

It’s in the silence
In the way you stay
In the calm after laughter
When you don’t run away

(Bridge)
Maybe love isn’t thunder
Maybe it’s the match
Struck slow and steady
That finally lasts

Not fate, not fairytales
Just two hands meeting
At the right time
And holding fast

(Final Chorus)
It’s the sparks I didn’t see coming
Burning soft, burning true
I stopped believing in miracles
Till I ran into you
No armor, no disguise
Just real, just right
And a spark
Hit me like
Dynamite
