In the beginning she was just a face in the crowd
In the beginning I thought she was rude and loud
In the beginning I thought “Just look at her hair!”
In the beginning I thought “A face with no makeup. How rare.”
In the beginning I thought “Intriguing, that smile.”
In the beginning I thought “Maybe I’ll stick around for awhile.”
In the beginning I thought “She seems pretentious.”
In the beginning I thought “A bit insecure, I guess.”
Then you walked over and said, “Hello, I’m Sally!”
Then I thought “Is is possible to be this happy?”
Then I said, “Hello Sally, my name is Tim."
Then she said, “Nice to meet you. Can I see you again?”
Suddenly I realize that she is a friend in the crowd
Suddenly I realize it’s only her music which is loud.
Suddenly I realize I actually like her style of hair
Suddenly I realize her face is beautiful bare
Suddenly I realize the sun is dim compared to her smile
Suddenly I realize I want to be part of her life for a long while
Suddenly I realize what I thought pretentious is actually gregarious
Suddenly I realize my own insecurities in my efforts to impress
Suddenly I realize it might be a big mistake leading with my chin
Then I realize that being together will be great for Sally and Tim.
