Verse 1 In a split second, I turned around Didn’t expect you there in the crowd But something hit me, soft and fast A quiet feeling built to last Your face, your hair, the way you stood Something in me understood Maybe nothing, maybe more But I felt something I can’t ignore Pre-Chorus Was it me, or was it you Something real or something new How can just a passing view Feel like something strong and true Chorus You were beautiful, you were lovely Someone I just had to meet Just a moment, just a second Still you knocked me off my feet You were beautiful, you were lovely Like a feeling I can’t keep How can something so damn fleeting Cut so deep Verse 2 It was on that train, that day So I kept going back that way Every time I passed that place I was hoping for your face I would look through every line Every stranger passing by Maybe hidden, maybe gone Still I kept on holding on Pre-Chorus Was it something in my chest Or just you above the rest Why does something so small Feel like everything at once Chorus You were beautiful, you were lovely Someone I just had to meet Just a moment, just a second Still you knocked me off my feet You were beautiful, you were lovely Like a song on soft repeat How can something so damn fleeting Cut so deep Bridge Time went by, I let it fade Told myself it’s just a phase Then one day, there you stood Looking just like you still would Phone in hand, a small smile And the world stopped for a while All the noise just disappeared You were suddenly right here Break (soft) How can something so fleeting Mean so much to me Maybe all of us are carrying A quiet need Maybe just a second Is enough to show That a single moment Can make something grow Final Chorus You were beautiful, you were lovely Someone I still had to meet And my heart was racing, beating Faster with every step I’d take You were beautiful, you were lovely And I felt it in my chest So I walked up, said the words my feelings not at all at rest Outro I stepped closer You looked at me And I said… “Excuse me” I said Excuse me Excuse me
