[Verse 1] You were laughing by the doorway, rain still on your coat One hand around a paper cup, the other holding up your phone You asked me if the little place had anywhere to sit I moved my jacket from the chair and watched the whole room shift [Pre-Chorus] You said your name, I said mine back Some things don’t need a second chance [Chorus] I knew right then, somewhere between hello and your smile You were the kind of forever I’d been hoping to find No grand sign in the heavens, no long road to roam Just you looking at me like you already felt at home I knew right then, and I know it still You’re the girl my heart was waiting to meet [Verse 2] We talked until the waitress stacked the chairs up on the tables You told me about your Sunday drives and all your kitchen fables I walked you to your car beneath the awning’s silver rain And when you turned to say goodnight, I wished the night would stay [Pre-Chorus] You said, “Call me when you get home” I smiled the whole way down the road [Chorus] I knew right then, somewhere between hello and your smile You were the kind of forever I’d been hoping to find No grand sign in the heavens, no long road to roam Just you looking at me like you already felt at home I knew right then, and I know it still You’re the girl my heart was waiting to meet [Bridge] Now your coffee’s by the window, your shoes are by the door Your laugh is in the quiet parts I used to hurry through before And every ordinary morning gives me one more reason why That first hello still feels like the best day of my life [Final Chorus] I knew right then, somewhere between hello and your smile You were the kind of forever I’d be grateful for all my life No grand sign in the heavens, no long road to roam Just you looking at me like you already felt at home I knew right then, and I know it still You’re the girl my heart was waiting to meet Yeah, you’re the girl my heart was waiting to meet [Outro] You were the girl my heart was waiting to meet
