Lyrics
Verse 1
I saw you by the door
With your coat half-zipped
Mouth full of excuses
Eyes like a loaded trip
You said you were fine
I said, “that’s a lie”
Then you laughed so hard
You made me drop my pride
Pre-Chorus
And it started in a glance
Then it moved like fire
One second I was numb
Next second, higher
Chorus
Love when you least expect it
(least expect it)
Love when you least expect it
(it finds you anyway)
One look and I’m caught
No warning, no plan
Love when you least expect it
And it takes my hand
Verse 2
Now your name hits my phone
And I smile too fast
There’s a dent in my day
Where my old guard passed
You bring fruit in a bag
You steal my black hoodie
Say my worries look small
When you pull me to you
Pre-Chorus
And it started in a glance
Then it moved like fire
One second I was numb
Next second, higher
Chorus
Love when you least expect it
(least expect it)
Love when you least expect it
(it finds you anyway)
One look and I’m caught
No warning, no plan
Love when you least expect it
And it takes my hand
Bridge
I stopped keeping score
I stopped building walls
You came in quiet
Then you changed it all
Final Chorus
Love when you least expect it
(least expect it)
Love when you least expect it
(it finds you anyway)
One look and I’m caught
No warning, no plan
Love when you least expect it
And it takes my hand
