Iron & Wine - Taken By Surprise Lyrics
Official




I knew someone long ago
She wasn't there and then she was
That lightning hit the ground without a warning
She would laugh, I would laugh
Somehow that sound became a day
Day turned into night and night to morning

If she ever comes back around
For something she forgot
Or maybe take me for a ride
I don't get taken by surprise anymore
I don't get taken by surprise anymore

I knew someone long ago
Although it feels like yesterday
She would look me in the eye and say whatever
I know this kind of moon
It looks too full to come back down
I've seen a couple of suns that set forever

If she ever comes back around
Just to slam an open door
Or to lay her hand in mine
I don't get taken by surprise anymore
I don't get taken by surprise anymore
I don't get taken by surprise

I knew someone long ago
Whether I wanted to or not
We never said goodbye that I remember
She never knew how much she gave
How much she may have left behind
I never knew how much I had to surrender

If she ever comes back around
To see if I'm still so old
Or just make me feel alive
I don't get taken by surprise anymore
I don't get taken by surprise anymore
I don't get taken by surprise anymore

I don't get taken by surprise
I don't get taken by surprise
I don't get taken by surprise
