B Post - I Wanted Love to Find You Lyrics

Pausing here on the stairs
I hold on to the rail
2 deep breaths and 4 more steps
If gravity won't fail me

How could I have known
How it would go?
So many years between
Divided by our screens

I see you before you see me and
I walk on through this rain
It feels like a music video from the '80s

How could I have known...

I wanted love to find you where you were hiding
And I wanted you to feel that you did the right thing
It's a job too big for superman
And you just can't turn the world around
No matter how fast you fly backwards
You just won't make it happen

The clockwork universe spins around
As the planet tilts and whirls
The push and pull of our orbits
Means asteroids will find us

How could I have known...

Years from now and I don't know how
To even start to explain
The planet's cooled, the war's called off
And everyone rejoices

How far we have come
To make it to today
How much we've done
And still feel kind of young
