Never My Type

{intimate fingerpicked acoustic guitar intro} (hmmm-mm-mmm)

You walked in like a late-night dream,

Quiet smile, blue hoodie,

faded jeans.

I told my friends,

"They’re not my type,"

But somehow you stayed on my mind all night.

{acoustic guitar continues with light brushed snare} We talked until the sky

turned gold,

Laughing over stories we’d never told.

Every little thing felt new somehow,

I can’t pretend I don’t see it now.

{soft pedal steel guitar swells in background} Maybe love don’t follow every

rule,

Maybe hearts don’t care what’s beautiful.

I tried to look the other way,

But you changed everything.

{subtle vocal harmonies, building snare roll} You were never my type,

Now you’re all that’s on my mind.

Every little moment, every little smile,

Makes the world slow down for a while.

I thought I knew what love looked like,

Till you proved my heart was wrong tonight.

You were never my type… Now you’re everything I like.

{full band entry, rich organic hook} Coffee cups and rainy afternoons,

Singing off-key to our favorite tunes.

Nothing perfect, nothing planned,

Just your heartbeat next to my hand.

{rhythm pulls back, intimate piano counter-melody}

If tomorrow changes everything,

Promise me we’ll still believe.

Some stories find us by surprise,

The best ones always do.

{soaring string section swells,

emotional peak} You were never my type,

Now I never want goodbye.

Every little memory shines so bright,

Like stars waking up the night.

If loving you is changing me,

Then that’s exactly who

I want to be.

You were never my type…

You’re the love I couldn’t see.

{maximum dynamic peak, soaring guitars} You were never my type… You became

my home.

Now every road I take

Leads back to you.
