[Verse 1]
Pouring rain, loud thunderstorm
Ran fast, struggled through the door
You said, “It’s really something out there”
I gave you a shy smile and brushed the moment away like I brushed the rain off my coat
And as I turn to go you said “Your hair looks good wet”
I say you should see it dry
I looked up and I met your eyes
And the electricity pulsed through the room like the lightning outside
I should’ve known then by the look in your eyes it was gonna be a long night
[Chorus]
I don’t know what makes people fall in love
Well it seems to be nothing oddly enough
Maybe it’s paying attention to detail
Maybe it’s just showing up
Maybe it’s whatever starts a spark in the pitch dark
[Verse 2]
8 pm, the smell of the coffee
Never seen the corner shop this busy
I guess everyone’s here cause the power’s out at home
And I normally wouldn’t talk to strangers but I’m stuck in a booth with you and I don’t mind it, kinda like it
I nervously chew on my straw while a guy in the corner plays a song about a couple who fell in love unexpectedly
[Chorus]
I don’t know what makes people fall in love
Well it seems to be nothing oddly enough
Maybe it’s paying attention to detail
Maybe it’s just showing up
Maybe it’s whatever starts a spark in the pitch dark
I don’t know what makes people fall in love
Well it seems to be nothing oddly enough
Maybe it’s paying attention to detail
Maybe it’s just showing up
Maybe it’s whatever starts a spark in the pitch dark
[Outro]
You go to the counter to order another cup
Things are getting to be a little much
So I write my name and number on a napkin and slide it under your drink and slip out of the side door, back into the rain
