[Verse 1] I remember you, a little girl Pointing at the yellow bunch “Na-na?” with a question mark And I could never get enough You would choose with smiling eyes “Mmmm,” as if you knew And we’d peel it hand in hand As I watched you learn to do [Pre-Chorus] I wonder if that banana knew When it was growing on the tree That it was waiting all that time To find its way to you and me [Chorus] Maybe nothing knows Where it’s meant to go Maybe every little thing Is finding its way home From a flower to a song From a life to another one There is something in the ordinary That feels like more than chance Maybe not by coincidence Maybe not by coincidence [Verse 2] Those anemones were standing there When you were on my mind You’d failed that test two times before But passed it on the third try I bought the flowers just to say I’d been thinking about you Now they’re standing in a vase And celebrating you [Pre-Chorus] I wonder if those flowers knew Who they were going to be for If they were holding hands somehow Before they left the store [Chorus] Maybe nothing knows Where it’s meant to go Maybe every little thing Is finding its way home From a flower to a song From a life to another one There is something in the ordinary That feels like more than chance Maybe not by coincidence Maybe not by coincidence [Bridge — Intimate, Building] Wheat becomes the flour Flour becomes a cake A little number three A birthday made of grace A puppy born one morning To change somebody’s everyday A song from somewhere far away That finds the words I cannot say It makes me miss her Makes me cry Then brings me comfort Every time [Final Chorus] Maybe nothing knows Where it’s meant to go Maybe every little thing Is finding its way home You were born ten months after me Grew up somewhere else entirely And all the roads you wandered Led you here to me Maybe not by coincidence Maybe not by coincidence [Outro — Soft, Almost Spoken] The banana The flowers The song And you Maybe not by coincidence Maybe not
