One seat over, I seen the world One seat over, I seen my girl One seat over, I seen the world One seat over, I seen my girl [Verse 1] (unchanged) The greatest of these is love They talkin’ ‘bout givin’ the grace of God Man, I was beggin’ for that window seat Like a beat-up Benz, and the lease is up I had so much luggage, too much for a girl And the plane was crowded, and I was ‘bout to hurl Tried to change my seat to the one by the window She said, “What you think? That I want you in the middle?” I said, “Naw, ma’am, you misunderstood If I knew I was gonna be next to you, I’m good I wanna stay here in my little economy class Watch the movies you watch and make you laugh” She was beautiful, the finest I’ve ever seen And I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout the outfit or her nails or the jeans The spirit, her vibe, it was somethin’ about her My bad, I apologize, I said somethin’ about her We start talkin’, we get to conversin’ Said, “I ain’t gonna hold you, man, I’m kinda nervous I been prayin’ for this for all my life One day, I wanna call somebody my wife And when you know, you know Man, it’s time to take a leap of faith” She said, “If you want to take a leap of faith Then tell that girl in the window to switch seats with you” [Chorus] One seat over, I seen the world One seat over, I seen my girl One seat over, I seen the world One seat over, I seen my girl [Verse 2] So I tapped on the shoulder, heart beatin’ fast Like, “Excuse me, miss, hope you don’t mind that” She looked up, smiled, said, “Sure, what’s the move?” Crazy how God always clearin’ the room Now I’m slidin’ over, buckle click sound Turbulence gone when she came around We laughin’ ‘bout dreams and where we been How life break you down, then build again She said she been guarded, learned from scars Tried long-distance love, tried broken hearts I told her I ain’t perfect, still under construction But my intentions pure, no false instructions Flight attendant said we ‘bout to descend Felt like the start, not the end From thirty thousand feet, I finally knew Sometimes destiny sittin’ right next to you [Bridge] Funny how the plans I made got rearranged I was chasin’ views, God showed me change I was lookin’ out windows, searchin’ the sky Whole time love was on my right Aisle too small, but the moment was big One small move changed the way I live If faith got a seat, it’s closin’ in Sometimes you don’t move—He moves you then [Chorus] One seat over, I seen the world One seat over, I seen my girl One seat over, I seen the world One seat over, I seen my girl [Outro] One seat over, it all made sense Missed that view, but I gained a lens Didn’t need first class, didn’t need the aisle Just needed faith and a little smile One seat over, I seen my life One seat over, my future wife One seat over, I seen the world One seat over… I seen my girl
