Couldn’t say how much time would pass
With you on my mind
Left me speechless
Like my voice was blind, oo
Not here by choice, fear, or circumstance
But it’s fate that I caught your glance
Oo, I see you, I see you
Caught your glance
Who would’ve ever thought breaking my arm would result in the cunning
Of me quickly upping my charm, I join in the running
Of lover boys, steadfast for rewards of femme attention cause them homies to scrawny for the sports
Mind my own on the bleachers ’til a mutual friend points you out like
“Here’s miss-out-of-town with the blue eyеs and attitude
No lie roughly the sizе of the whole state of Texas”
I’m over protective, masking my grin
Not here by choice, fear, or circumstance
But it’s fate, baby fate that I caught your glance
Then she spoke
“Hey, I’m so-and-so”
I see, well don’t you know, a girl with the same name just came right through the door
Too beautiful to ignore
Funny how similar you look to her, but seeing things as it were
Lightning never strikes in the same place twice, so you must be she
Do you concur? She asked
“Have we met before?” Obviously of course
In a previous life or four, too evident to ignore
And that was it, like we were made for each other
Took a walk to split, some time alone with the lover
That I fell for at first sight, talking forever
Playing catchup on the life I lived before I had met her, yeah
Not here by choice, fear, or circumstance
But it’s fate, baby fate that I caught your glance
Three months was a lifetime and some
An instant of passion, refusing to bask in the root of the fact
That we’re dabbling the chance of a zero-sum
Hard enough having different schools
But no worries, hey it’s cool
Our homies would stage hangouts and slumbers
So we could sneak out around 3 a.m. just tryna see each other
We battled the odds great
Power couple with plans to run the world forever like we’re Weezy and Drake
Easy enough to relate? Yeah I know
Better than abrupt goodbyes when I’ve gotta go
Find out my fam’s moving back home outa state
Leaving home where the heart is, some sorta mistake? Nope
Couldn’t be by choice, fear, dumb luck, or circumstance
Thanks to fate, baby fate, I lost your glance
Packed my bags, gone in a few days
How unfortunate, the best of it all ends these ways
And ten years later, as I write my lines and sing my songs
I reminisce on you from time to time
I wonder if you, a grown woman now married with kids, a mortgage, steady job
Probably a pet dog named after some ethnic food can even remember me
Maybe one day you will… or not, I don’t know, whatever
In the meantime, I’ll be living my best life
City boy summer’s coming up
No use waiting on anything like this’ll come full circle, that’s not my kind of luck
It’s just… fate baby, fate
