Lyrics
Never Thought
(c)2012 Casia - Lyrics
Yolande Strauss - vocals/melody
Adam Kirby - composition, arrangement, mix
(V1)
I was telling everyone
You're not the man for me
I took my feelings
Scattered them on the breeze
And walked away
To live my shattered dreams
(My shattered dreams)
(Chorus)
Never thought you'd be the one
To wake me from my sleep
Never thought you'd be the one
To sweep me off my feet
To change my direction
When I was already gone
Never thought you'd climb inside my heart
When everything was wrong
(V2)
Somehow you did it
You came around again
A smile in your eyes
A teardrop on your face
How could I resist
The touch of your embrace
(of your embrace)
(Chorus)
Never thought you'd be the one
To turn my life around
Never thought you'd be the one
To pull me off the ground
To share my morning kiss
To bring color to the dawn
Never thought you'd climb inside my heart
When everything was wrong
(Bridge)
How can life be so random
One switch of a light
One cut of a knife
And everything..everything is changed
Everything is re-arranged
- solo -
(Chorus)
Never thought you'd be the one
To wake me from my sleep
Never thought you'd be the one
To sweep me off my feet
To change my direction
When I was already gone
Never thought you'd climb inside my heart
When everything was wrong
