| And sometimes when I wake up
|
| and the shock of having you by my side
|
| is so great
|
| I just lie here and try
|
| to fix the moment in my mind
|
| it didn’t happen when I thought
|
| it would happen
|
| it didn’t happen when I thought
|
| it could never happen
|
| or when I was feeling strong enough
|
| or when I had the money
|
| it happened when it wanted to
|
| sometimes when you wake up
|
| and the shock of being here at all
|
| is so great
|
| how can this be
|
| can this really be real
|
| out of gas and fire in outer space
|
| to be lying here
|
| in this room
|
| looking at your face
|
| it didn’t happen when I thought
|
| it would happen
|
| it didn’t happen when I thought
|
| that it could never happen
|
| or when I was looking good enough
|
| or when I could have coped
|
| it happened when it wanted it to
|
| sometimes when I wake up
|
| and the shock of having you by my side is so great
|
| sleeping in my arms I’m astonished to find
|
| someone else who feels the same
|
| I just lie here and try
|
| to fix the moment in my mind
|
| it didn’t happen
|
| when I prayed and prayed for it, oh no
|
| or when I was so lonely, no, no, no |
| or when I was feeling strong enough
|
| or when I had the money
|
| or when I was looking good enough
|
| or when I could have coped
|
| it happened when it wanted to
|
| it happened when it wanted to |
