Did I catch your eye that one time
In a crowded hall
Did it cross your mind prophesize
A hometown enthralled
One in a thousand smiles
Pick up a flower off the road
With a joking grin
Drive around a little too slow
So it never ends
Time and time and time again
Timing fate we're face to face
Now it's you I want
Everybody knows your name
But I know your heart
If you were a book
I could read you in the dark
Someone up there wrote our story
In tangled plots
Autumn air and curly hair
Picture perfect scene
Like passing notes and inside jokes
You look at me
But growing old means you have to leave
And you'll be moving away from me
It's coming soon
That's what I mean when I say
I love you to the moon
Through every universe I'd follow you
Timing fate we're face to face
Now it's you I want
Everybody knows your name
But I know your heart
If you were a book
I could read you in the dark
Someone up there wrote our story
In tangled plots
Sitting by the lake
Your hand in mine I think
"Nothing's quite the same
No one else would wait"
And I expect you to smile
Look on and sit in silence but you
Lift your eyes up to mine
Silently open your mouth a few times
Like you're scared
You say you are beautiful
Like a flower in the snow
It's scary and wonderful
Watching as you grow
That time in the hall
It was forever ago
And after you smiled at me
Everything else would just fall into place
Timing fate we're face to face
Now it's you I want
Everybody knows your name
But I know your heart
If you were a book
I could read you in the dark
Someone up there wrote our story
In tangled plots
Timing fate we're face to face
I'm the one you want
Everybody knows my name
But you know my heart
Our secret jokes are intertwined
In all my songs
I'll make sure our lives are always tangled plots
Tangled plots
I wrote it in tangled plots
