lyrics

Once I was lost, but now I’m found
I was one of the pieces in your pocket that just fell on to the ground
That’s where you’ll find me

I was a little hurt when I found out
Not just the mistake of it, but just that you had never planned it out
But it doesn’t define me

Because what it is
Is the best of you and the very best of me
Written like a prophecy
Because I was planned
You just didn’t know and in spite of you I’m growing old
And I still find love in you
That’s my little joke with God

I was alone too long, then there was her
She fell out of the pocket of somebody that just didn’t give a care
That’s where I found her

I gave her a heartbeat, and she gave me one back
I took her hand and I promised her I never would forget
That she defines me

Because what it is
Is the best of her and the very best of me
Written like a symphony
Because we were planned
We just didn’t know and in spite of everything we’re growing old
And I still find love in her
That’s my little joke with God
