I knew someone long ago
She wasn't there and then she was
That lightning hit the ground without a warning
She would laugh and 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
And I've seen a couple 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
