Lyrics

You were the rare opportunity I’d always hoped for
… the big chance I was unwilling to take
You were the wild adventure that I had no time for
and the closest friend I didn’t bother to make

You asked me to give you some time and assist you
I was nervous and thought I came off so uptight
but something changed in the moment I casually kissed you
like somebody turned on… some incredible light

I didn’t see you coming – didn’t know you were there
Didn’t see you coming – you stepped out of thin air
I didn’t see you coming – I swear that it’s true
Didn’t see you coming – what’s a boy to do?

Time passes, time passes, time passes, time passes
but I still can’t see what’s right in front of me

If I learn my days on this earth will be numbered;
I cannot be healed; not a thing I can do…
All I want is a chance for a word with my Maker
I would prob’ly say, “Tell me it isn’t true!”

I didn’t see you coming – didn’t know you were there
Didn’t see you coming – you stepped out of thin air
I didn’t see you coming – I swear that it’s true
Didn’t see you coming – what’s a boy to do?
