John McVey Lyrics
"Takes You By Surprise"

You can throw logic out the window when it comes to love
Though at the start you think you're in control
Before too long you can't turn back
The walls you've built will start to crack
And all your reasons become lies
It always takes you by surprise
You have sworn you'd never play the fool again for love
Every time you fell and broke your heart
But you learned you can't anticipate
By the time you know it's much too late
Through all defenses you devise
It always takes you by surprise
Unspoken words, a silent song
A human right that's never wrong
It never lived and it never dies
And it always takes you by surprise
Each time she takes you by the hand
No one else seems to understand
But we can see it in your eyes
That you've been taken by surprise
What you have to realize
Is it always takes you by surprise
