Jason Reeves - The Second I Saw You lyrics

I remember it so clearly
When I saw your face
Everything in my whole world changed
Flash of lightning in the rain
Like a tidal wave
And your smile swept me away

Ever since I was young I believed
That love is magic
But I always thought it happened over time
Till the moment I met you
And I knew we had it
And I was looking at the meaning of my life
From the second I saw you
I knew
From the second I saw you
I knew

I always thought I'd be alone
And I wasn't sad
It's funny how fast you changed that
I called my Mom when I got back home
Said "Now I know how you
Felt when you met Dad"

Ever since I was young I believed
That love is magic
But I always thought it happened over time
Till the moment I met you
And I knew we had it
And I was looking at the meaning of my life
From the second I saw you
I knew
From the second I saw you
I knew

You're my Rachel McAdams in About Time
I keep going back
To when you walked into the room
Cause I wanna feel my cold heart catch fire
At the sight of you
It's the best high I've ever had

Ever since I was young I believed
That love is magic
But I always thought it happened over time
Till the moment I met you
And I knew we had it
Cause you showed me it can
Steal you at first sight
From the second I saw you
I knew
From the second I saw you
I knew
Baby I knew
The second I saw you
Baby I knew
The second I saw you
I knew

In Ancient Greece it was
Thought that our eyes
Emit beams of light that illuminate
What we're looking at
But you proved that to be
The opposite of the truth
Because when you opened that door in
Nashville in the summer of 2009
The only thing emitting light was you
And at first I was transfixed
By how the whole
World felt upside down like
It had just flipped
But then I remembered that
Our eyes invert our
Realities like the righting of
A capsized ship
And it occurred to me that you may be the
Only living being walking upright
In an otherwise
Upside down existence
And without even trying I stepped up to
The ceiling where you were standing
Iris dilated in the same way
My heart was expanding
And in that moment the lonesome
Isolation of a soul
Still searching evaporated into an
Entirely new form
Of intoxicated desire
Because love is a wilderness we wander into
Starving
Overwhelmed by the abundance of light
And when you said hello
Your smile shined sharper than
A hunters knife
So I took your hand and we carved
Our initials into the tree of life
