Lyrics
Fate
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Standing on ceremony. Waiting for life to begin
I ain't looking for nothing necessarily,
then in you sauntered in.
You were too cool, too suave.
The way you handled your guitar.
When you started to play,
you nearly stole my heart away.
You can't stop fate stepping in.
You can try, but you'll give in.
When you finished playing, ooh you caught my eye.
I don't usually get so humble, I don't usually get so shy.
But when you asked my name. I felt the deepest shame.
If you could read my mind, oh, you'd see my crime.
You can't stop fate stepping in.
You can try, but you'll give in.
You can't choose. You can't lose.
You can't hide. You can't decide.
You can't run, You can't shun.
You can't escape, destiny of fate.
You can't stop fate stepping in.
You can try, but you'll give in
