I was wearing my heart armor
When we first met
It was solid and sealed.
No plans to remove it yet.
Heart wounds were healing
But still on guard
Would I let you in
To my back yard?
Ready or not
Here you were.
With the kind of love
I'd been waiting for.
I was waiting just for minutes
On 84th and 3rd
For you to arrive
To exchange our first words.
Hellos and greetings
Then we walked on
Small gestures of ease
Even smiles were drawn.
All I could say is
Ready or not
Here you were.
With the kind of love
I'd been waiting for.
To my surprise
Ready or not
Here you were
With the kind of love
I'd been waiting for.
This set of eyes
Brand new to me
A fading past
What will I now see?
How long will this glance last
I was wearing my heart armor
When we first met
It's now been removed
With no regret
Ready or not
Here you were
With the kind of love
I'd been waiting for.
All I could say is
Ready or not
Here you were.
With the kind of love
I'd been waiting for.
To my surprise
Ready or not
Here you were
With the kind of love
I'd been waiting for
To my surprise
