The Element Of Surprise
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.
There’s a set of rickety stairs
In between my heart and my head
And there ain’t much that ever bothers going up them
Here we go I made it again
And once it’s started it’s so tricky to stop
Suddenly reminded of things I thought I’d forgot
You’ve got me loosening up my grip on the plot
And it feels like
Your entrance just caused the temperature to rise
You’d got a look in your eyes
As you snuck in the side
And the place I thought I was at
Hasn’t yet invited me back
The trouble with the chase is it’s so easy
To crash
Why colour in the lines if you’re just painting
It black?
I thought they were kisses but apparently not
Do you end all your messages with an ‘x marks the spot’?
Just let me know when you want your socks
Knocking off
And it feels like
Your entrance just caused the temperature to rise
You’d got a look in your eyes as you snuck
In the side
Guess there’s nothing like the element
Of surprise
