Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Had my walls all painted gray,
Plans stacked tight to keep life safe.
Every tick of the clock was tame,
Then you walked in -- rewrote my name.
Spilled my coffee, lost my calm,
You laughed like thunder through my plans.
Didn't ask, didn't warn, just struck --
Now I'm burning bright with an open heart.

[Chorus]
Didn't see it coming, but I needed the shock,
You broke through the silence, picked every lock.
Lightning in my veins, heart in aftershock,
Didn't see it coming -- but I needed the shock.

[Verse 2]
You touch like static, soft and wild,
Turned the storm into something mild.
Now I'm caught inside your glow,
Losing track of what I used to know.
You pull me close, I drop my guard,
Love's not safe -- it's hitting hard.
Every spark's a line I can't rewrite,
Every breath's another flash of light.

[Chorus (Variation)]
Didn't see it coming, but I needed the spark,
You lit up the corners of my careful heart.
Thunder in your kiss, tearing night apart,
Didn't see it coming -- but I needed the spark.

[Bridge]
Now the world slows down,
But my pulse speeds up,
Falling never felt so sure.
In the flash, I found
What I'd given up --
Now forever's what I'm falling for.

[Final Chorus]
Didn't see it coming, but I needed the shock,
You woke up my soul where the dark had locked.
Lightning in your eyes, and my heart unlocked,
Didn't see it coming -- but I needed the shock.

[Outro]
Didn't see it, didn't plan it,
But your light hit the dark.
Didn't see it coming --
But I needed the spark.
