[Verse 1] We were sitting by the window On a slow and sleepy day You were halfway through a story That had somehow drifted away Talking ‘bout your old hometown And people I’d never meet Drawing little circles on the table With your coffee and your sleeve Outside, the world kept turning Cars rolled by like they always do Nothing felt different Until I looked at you ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] There was no thunder No voice from above No sign or warning Just the quiet start of love ⸻ [Chorus] It wasn’t the summer Or the sky so blue It wasn’t some grand revelation Or a dream coming true It was the way the light fell And suddenly I knew Nothing in that moment changed Except the way I looked at you ⸻ [Verse 2] You laughed at your own joke Before you even got to the end Then you shook your head and smiled And started telling it again The afternoon was ordinary The kind you’d soon forget But some memories choose you Before they’ve happened yet And I was watching one unfold ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] No fireworks burning No choir in the air Just a feeling so simple I almost missed it there ⸻ [Chorus] It wasn’t the summer Or the sky so blue It wasn’t some grand revelation Or a dream coming true It was the way the light fell And suddenly I knew Nothing in that moment changed Except the way I looked at you ⸻ [Bridge] Maybe love arrives softly Without a sound Maybe it waits in the smallest things To finally be found A glance across a table A laugh hanging in the room A beam of sunlight through the glass And suddenly… You know ⸻ [Final Chorus] It wasn’t the future Or all the things we’d do It wasn’t any promise I could ever make to you It was the way the light fell And suddenly I knew Out of all the roads behind me I was walking toward you It was the way the light fell And suddenly I knew ⸻ [Outro] (Clean guitars swelling into warm electric leads) The way the light fell… And suddenly I knew… The way the light fell… And suddenly I knew…
