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
