Lyrics

Verse 1

Saw you

By the corner store stand

Checking every label in your left hand

Frozen

Thinking what to say

Should have found a way

To bridge the heavy gap

Between my shoes and your silver strap

Suddenly

You looked up

Chorus

I didn't know your name

I didn't know your name

But I felt the shift

Yeah I felt the shift

Watching you walk

Watching you walk

Slow motion in the street

Slow motion in the street

Everything changed

Everything changed

Post-Chorus

Yeah yeah

No no

Oh oh oh

Yeah yeah

Verse 2

Stutter

Harder than it looks

Better than the fiction in my old books

Golden

Maybe it was luck

Maybe I was stuck

Maybe I was bold

Maybe I was cold

Left my keys

On the counter top

Spinning like a penny till the winds stop

Breathless

Quiet as a prayer

Chorus

I didn't know your name

I didn't know your name

But I felt the shift

Yeah I felt the shift

Watching you walk

Watching you walk

Slow motion in the street

Slow motion in the street

Everything changed

Everything changed

Post-Chorus

Yeah yeah

No no

Oh oh oh

Yeah yeah

Bridge

Five minutes later

We were sharing a drink

Five minutes later

I didn't have to think

Five minutes later

The sun started to sink

Now I know it

Now I got it

I know your name now

I know your name now

Chorus

I didn't know your name

I didn't know your name

But I felt the shift

Yeah I felt the shift

Watching you walk

Watching you walk

Slow motion in the street

Slow motion in the street

Everything changed

Everything changed

Outro

Your name

Like a song

All night long

I know it now

Yeah

I know it now
