All at Once

[Verse 1] Maybe I won’t see it coming, maybe I’ll be looking away, somewhere between a goodbye and an ordinary day. Then something will move through me, something I can’t name, like the sky opening suddenly before the first drop of rain. [Pre-Chorus] It’ll be there in my hands, in the space between my breaths, a strange kind of surrender I’ve never known before. [Chorus] You won’t feel like a question, you won’t feel like a choice. I’ll know you in the silence before I hear your voice. You’ll rush into my bloodstream, like a storm into the sea, take everything I thought I was and leave more of me. I won’t have to chase it, I won’t have to understand. Somewhere between forever and the touch of your hand, I’ll know. I’ll know. It all happened at once. [Verse 2] Maybe time will lose its meaning, maybe the room will disappear, and every road I ever wandered will suddenly lead me here. I won’t need a reason, I won’t need a sign. There are things the heart remembers before they enter your mind. [Pre-Chorus] It’ll tremble in my fingers, settle underneath my skin, like my whole life was waiting for this moment to begin. [Chorus] You won’t feel like a question, you won’t feel like a choice. I’ll know you in the silence before I hear your voice. You’ll rush into my bloodstream, like a storm into the sea, take everything I thought I was and leave more of me. I won’t have to chase it, I won’t have to understand. Somewhere between forever and the touch of your hand, I’ll know. I’ll know. It all happened at once. [Bridge] And maybe that’s the secret— the things that change your life don’t always knock before they enter, they just turn on the light. No map could ever lead me, no clock could tell me when. I could spend my whole life looking… or turn around and find you standing there. [Final Chorus] You won’t feel like a question, you won’t feel like a choice. I’ll know you in the silence before I hear your voice. You’ll rush into my bloodstream, like a storm into the sea, take everything I thought I was and give it back to me. I won’t have to chase you, I won’t have to understand. Somewhere between forever and the touch of your hand, I’ll know. I’ll know. No warning. No reason. No time to prepare. Some loves take a lifetime. Some happen all at once.
