Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I tossed a dream into the sky
Don't ask me the reason why
I watched it drift right by your eyes
And now you're on my mind
I gave my luck for a chance
Loose change and a stolen glance
I never planned this sweet romance
But now you're on my mind
[Pre=Chorus]
Your eyes were shinin'
White shoes, streetlights alignin'
Late hour, stars were climbin'
What are we doing, baby?
[Chorus]
Hey, we just locked eyes, and it's exciting
You stole my focus without even trying
I can't find the words when you're beside me
So take a chance I think our stars alignin’
Hey, we just locked eyes, and it's exciting
You turned a simple moment into lightning
And all the other parts keep alignin’
But you're the one that's got my mind deciding
[Verse 2]
You played it cool from the start
I lost my guard and my heart
You never promised me a part
But still, you're on my mind
I chase a feeling that is new
One little glance you pulled me through
I never thought that it was true
But now, you're on my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Your eyes were sparklin'
Cool air, neon flashin'
Fast heart, midnight passin'
Where you think we’re headin, baby?
[Chorus]
Hey, we just locked eyes, and it's exciting
You stole my focus without even trying
I can't find the words when you're beside me
So take a chance I think our stars alignin’
Hey, we just locked eyes, and it's exciting
You turned a simple moment into lightning
And all the other parts keep alignin’
But you're the one that's got my mind deciding
[Post-Chorus]
Before you stepped into my world, I needed much more
I needed so much more
Before you stepped into my world, I needed much more
I needed so much more
[Bridge]
It’s hard to look when your away
I keep finding words I never say
[Chorus]
Hey, we just locked eyes, and it's exciting
You stole my focus without even trying
I can't find the words when you're beside me
So take a chance I think our stars alignin’
[Post-Chorus]
Before you stepped into my world, I needed so much more
I needed so much more
Before you stepped into my world, I needed so much more
I needed so much more
