Happenstance

We built this thing from the ground up, babe Doesn’t that make you proud We stand back and stare with dropped jaws at all we have made Started out on a Tuesday, Wednesday Leaning against my car Radio on, passenger door ajar I tried to gather whether somebody else had your heart; would I dare to take a stab in the dark Little did I know though, know though What had begun occurring under my nose Little did I know that I’d be sleeping under your covers through the whole year, honey Actor and an actress; I was playing a role so real Caught you off guard, contemplate how to feel I’m thinking we put it down to time and place and event Name our behaviour as irrelevant But a day well spent was paving the path that was lying ahead And two tongues so tied, they loosened to learn one another with time For here we are in the summer’s heat, Brunswick St Love far from turning sour Headed for breakfast at some ungodly hour And while I live in your pockets, you inhabit my plans I guess my waist remains a good resting place for your hands Boy in your mind did you know it then One night with me would turn into a whole weekend, and then some Didn’t foresee it, thought you were out of my league Who knew your hazardous gaze would amplify your prestige On a day well spent; it was paving the path that was lying ahead And two tongues so tied, they loosened to learn one another with time Look at us now, merely in sync Living this easy I’m beginning to think We’re onto a good thing, maybe even the best Little did we know that we’d take a chance on a case of happenstance I wonder when you play it in reverse Do you find the thought oh so comical it hurts The people we are now once never could have known how We built this thing from the ground up, babe And doesn’t that make you proud ‘Cause a day well spent was paving the path that was lying ahead And two eyes so bright would haunt you ’til you saw them at the end of every night Look at us now, merely in sync Living this easy I’m beginning to think We’re onto a good thing, maybe even the best Little did we know that we’d take a chance on a case of happenstance
