The Day Love Stood Still

The morning was ordinary,

predictable, and gray

Just another Tuesday

cutting through the day

I was rushing through the coffee shop,

staring at my feet

Lost inside a heavy mind,

crossing down the street

Then the door swung open wide,

a sudden rush of air

You were laughing at a text,

running fingers through your hair

And the background noise of the city street just completely died away

The day I fell in love,

the clock stopped ticking down

A million vivid colors painted over this old town

My quiet, careful world spun right off of its track

And I knew right then

I was never going back

Yeah, the sky broke open above

The day I fell in love (ooooh)

You caught me looking over and you offered up a smile

The kind that makes a stranger want to stay and talk a

while

We got to sharing tables,

then we got to sharing names

Like a spark that hit the gasoline,

jumping into flames

I used to think that history was written in the past

But looking at your eyes,

I knew I found a thing to last

Every single doubt I carried simply drifted out of view

It wasn't like the movies with a grand score

Just a sudden, certain feeling that I’ve never known before

A shift inside the atmosphere,

a rewriting of the rules

Making sense of all the lonely years we spend acting like fools

Suddenly I knew exactly where my steps were meant to go

The day I fell in love,

the clock stopped ticking down

A million vivid colors painted over this old town

My quiet, careful world spun right off of its track

And I knew right then I was never going back Yeah,

the sky broke open above

The day I fell in love Just a regular Tuesday afternoon

Turned into a midnight under the moon

Now I’m looking at you,

and I’m looking at us

Remembering how fast a heart can learn to trust

Yeah, the day I fell in love The day I fell in

love
