Off Guard

Verse 1

I had my armor plated, locked up tight (Locked up tight, ooh)

Had a speech prepared for the end of the night

Swore I'd never let anybody past the gate (Past the gate)

Always checking exits, always calculating date by date

Then you walked in, didn't even knock (Didn't even knock)

Just smiled at me, and I forgot to lock

The door, the mind, the heavy-hearted rules

Got me out here acting like a total fool (Total fool)

Pre-Chorus

And I'm standing in the open, no place left to run (Nowhere to run)

Looking at the damage you've happily done... (So happily done, mmm)

Chorus

Swore I'd never fall this hard, you caught me completely off guard (Off guard, yeah)

Didn't see you coming, didn't think I'd let it start (Let it start, no)

Now my shields are down, and I'm floating in the dark (Floating in the dark)

Yeah, you wrecked my defense right from the very start

Completely off guard...

(Ooh-ooh, didn't even see it coming, babe)

Verse 2

You're tracing patterns on the palm of my hand (On my hand)

Like you didn't just upend my entire master plan (My master plan)

I used to pride myself on being so detached (So detached)

Now look at me, a hundred percent attached (Attached, yeah)

It's terrifying how easy it is to breathe (How easy it is)

With you lying right here, refusing to leave (Refusing to leave)

Yeah, I built a fortress out of brick and stone

And you made it feel like home (Made it feel like home)

Pre-Chorus

And I'm standing in the open, no place left to run (No place left)

Looking at the damage you've happily done... (Oh, happily done)

Chorus

Swore I'd never fall this hard, you caught me completely off guard (Completely, oh)

Didn't see you coming, didn't think I'd let it start (Didn't think I'd let it)

Now my shields are down, and I'm floating in the dark (Floating in the dark, yeah)

Yeah, you wrecked my defense right from the very start

Completely off guard...

(Oh, my god, look at what you did)

Bridge

I never gave permission, I never gave the key (Never gave the key)

You didn't have to pick the lock, you just looked at me (Just looked at me)

And every wall came tumbling down, down, down... (Tumbling down)

Look at me now... (Adlib: Look at me now, babe)

Final Chorus

Swore I'd never fall this hard, you caught me completely off guard (Off guard!)

Didn't see you coming, didn't think I'd let it start (Didn't think I'd let it, no)

Now my shields are down, and I'm floating in the dark (Floating in the dark)

Yeah, you wrecked my defense right from the very start

Completely off guard...

(Ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah, completely)

Outro & Adlib Run

Completely off guard...

(Mmm, didn't even see you coming, boy)

Yeah, right through the front door.

(Look at me now... completely defenseless)

(Mmm... mmm...)

(Mmm... mmm...)
