My Unexpected Her

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I never believed in love at first sight Till you came in from the rain that night Broken umbrella, water on your sleeve Laughing like the weather had nothing to prove I was beneath the café roof Watching every street turn silver-blue You caught me looking, tilted your head And asked if there was something on my face instead [Pre-Chorus] I said, “No, I was just wondering How someone walks in and changes everything” [Chorus] Then you smiled, and the whole room slowed Coffee went cold, but I didn’t know Your eyes found mine through the window rain And nothing in me felt the same I thought love was a story people told Something beautiful but impossible to hold Then you stepped inside, and there you were My first true maybe, my unexpected her [Verse 2] You shook the water from your hair Left a little puddle by the chair We talked until the tables turned About the places we had left and never learned You hated cinnamon in your tea Loved old films and thrift-store poetry When the rain became a softer sound You said, “I should go,” but neither moved an inch around [Pre-Chorus] So I asked if I could walk you home You said, “Only if you don’t mind getting soaked” [Chorus] Then you smiled, and the whole room slowed Coffee went cold, but I didn’t know Your eyes found mine through the window rain And nothing in me felt the same I thought love was a story people told Something beautiful but impossible to hold Then you stepped inside, and there you were My first true maybe, my unexpected her [Bridge] Maybe it wasn’t magic in the sky Maybe it was timing, maybe just your laugh Maybe a thousand ordinary roads Were quietly leading to that café door [Final Chorus] Then you smiled, and the whole world changed Rain on the glass, your hand in mine again Now every storm has somewhere to go Every quiet room feels like home I thought love would take a lifetime to appear But it walked through that door and brought you here I never believed, not before you were My first true always, my unexpected her [Outro] I never believed in love at first sight Till you came in from the rain that night
