I’ve been a ghost in this city, haunting every bar
Chasing shadows and echoes, never getting far
Always picking the thorns and missing the rose
That’s just the way the story goes
A restless heart in a weary chest
Looking for a place to finally rest
But every door I opened led to a wall
I was getting used to the taste of the fall…
Until I saw your face.
Then there was you, like a shift in the tide
With a grace and a wisdom you don’t even hide
One look in your eyes and the static went still
If I couldn’t love you, then nobody will!
Yeah, you’re the one I’ve been dreaming of
The sudden, certain kind of love!
I stood there frozen, a deer in the light
Terrified I’d say something wrong and ruin the night
I’ve got the years, but I lost my cool
Feeling like a kid back in middle school
I held my breath, I couldn’t make a move…
But you didn’t wait, you saw right through the fear
You closed the gap and you whispered in my ear!
You were the courage that I didn’t know I’d need!
Now the restlessness is finally gone!
Yeah, there was you, like a shift in the tide
With that beautiful brain and the fire inside
One look in your eyes and the static went still
If I couldn’t love you, then nobody will!
You’re the love of my life, the end of the line
I’m a nervous teenager, and I’m doing just fine!
The last first step…
Yeah, you’re the one.
