lyrics

She took me by surprise
See she was smart and did not strike until she saw
Until she saw the whites of my eyes,
I swear to God
If I had known she'd be the type to turn me on
Then I'd step off that firing line

But that Texas summer rain feels so nervous and warm
But it makes her body shine like a beacon meant to warn
The clouds they sweat with anticipation of the oncoming war
Between who we want to be, and what we already are

She took me by surprise...

It took me by surprise
How the days and weeks went by like flashes of light
So warm and bright they left me blind,
And when the smoke came to rest
The truth it hit like cannon fire straight through my chest
And I woke up in the coldest sweat

You see, she slipped into my heart. I'm still dodging all these mines
But I would not mind these dreams if I'd just wake up feeling right

But I am tired of all these nights where I can't sleep, and lord I've tried
I guess I'll waste my worried time trying to get back in her sights

She took my surprise...

Take me by surprise...
