The Second I Saw YouI remember it so clearlyWhen I saw your face Everything in my whole world changed Flash of lightning in the rain Like a tidal wave And your smile swept me away Ever since I was young I believed That love is magic But I always thought it happened over time Till the moment I met you And I knew we had it And I was looking at the meaning of my life From the second I saw you I knew From the second I saw you I knew I always thought I'd be alone And I wasn't sad It's funny how fast you changed that I called my Mom when I got back home Said "Now I know how you felt when you met Dad" Ever since I was young I believed That love is magic But I always thought it happened over time Till the moment I met you And I knew we had it And I was looking at the meaning of my life From the second I saw you I knew From the second I saw you I knew You're my Rachel McAdams in About Time I keep going back To when you walked into the room Cause I wanna feel my cold heart catch fire At the sight of you It's the best high I've ever had Ever since I was young I believed That love is magic But I always thought it happened over time Till the moment I met you And I knew we had it Cause you showed me it can steal you at first sight From the second I saw you I knew From the second I saw you I knew Baby I knew The second I saw you Baby I knew The second I saw you I knew In Ancient Greece it was thought that our eyes Emit beams of light that illuminate what we're looking at But you proved that to be the opposite of the truth Because when you opened that door in Nashville in the summer of 2009 The only thing emitting light was you And at first I was transfixed by how the whole world felt upside down like it had just flipped But then I remembered that our eyes invert our realities like the righting of a capsized ship And it occurred to me that you may be the only living being walking upright in an otherwise Upside down existence And without even trying I stepped up to the ceiling where you were standing Iris dilated in the same way my heart was expanding And in that moment the lonesome isolation of a soul Still searching evaporated into an entirely new form Of intoxicated desire Because love is a wilderness we wander into Starving Overwhelmed by the abundance of light And when you said hello Your smile shined sharper than a hunters knife So I took your hand and we carved our initials into the tree of life |
