FOUND YOU THERE

I was killin’ time in a laundromat At 2AM on a Tuesday night Watchin’ socks go nowhere fast Under flickering fluorescent light Coffee machine ate my last two bucks Rain beat hard on the roof outside Then you walked in wearin’ motorcycle boots And a Def Leppard shirt half tied You smiled like we’d already met Like fate forgot to warn me first And right there between detergent aisles My whole life changed in the worst… Best way. CHORUS Who finds love At a twenty-four-hour Spin City Wash? Who finds forever By a busted vending machine and a mop? But there you were Like heaven hid in nowhere at all Guess angels don’t care where they land Sometimes love ain’t planned Sometimes it’s hiding somewhere weird Waiting on your heart to crash Yeah… who’d have thought I’d find you there ⸻ You told me once your cousin met her man At a taxidermy convention in Des Moines He sold glass eyeballs for deer heads She played banjo in a biker coin-op joint And your aunt met her wife at jury duty Arguin’ over a parking space Now they’re forty years and six grandkids deep Laughin’ ‘bout that courthouse day And suddenly the whole world felt Like a giant cosmic joke Maybe soulmates ain’t candlelight Maybe they’re found where the weird folks smoke CHORUS Who finds love At a twenty-four-hour Spin City Wash? Who gets rescued Next to bleach and broken clocks? But there you were Like heaven hid in nowhere at all Guess angels don’t need fancy plans Sometimes love just lands Sometimes it’s hiding somewhere strange Waiting while your whole world stalls Yeah… who’d have thought I’d find you there ⸻ BRIDGE Maybe somewhere tonight Two people are meetin’ right now At a bait shop In line at the DMV At a UFO convention outside Roswell Or buyin’ expired hot dogs at a gas station grocery Maybe destiny ain’t sunsets and violins Maybe it’s: “Hey… this seat taken?” And your whole future sittin’ down beside you. ⸻ Last week we drove past that laundromat Still buzzin’ in the rain You grabbed my hand and laughed real soft Said “Kinda beautiful now, ain’t it?” Yeah… Now every strange little nowhere town Feels holy somehow to me ‘Cause love don’t always show up where you pray Sometimes… It’s where you were just killin’ time. FINAL CHORUS Who finds love At a washed-up nowhere after midnight? Who finds magic Under cheap neon light? But there you were Like heaven hid in plain sight all along Turns out hearts don’t care where they start When they know where they belong So if you’re lonely tonight somewhere strange Don’t write yourself off just yet ‘Cause the love of your life Might be walkin’ through the door…. Right Now
