the moment in my mind - Spearmint

And sometimes when I wake up

and the shock of having you by my side

is so great

I just lie here and try

to fix the moment in my mind

it didn’t happen when I thought

it would happen

it didn’t happen when I thought

it could never happen

or when I was feeling strong enough

or when I had the money

it happened when it wanted to

sometimes when you wake up

and the shock of being here at all

is so great

how can this be

can this really be real

out of gas and fire in outer space

to be lying here

in this room

looking at your face

it didn’t happen when I thought

it would happen

it didn’t happen when I thought

that it could never happen

or when I was looking good enough

or when I could have coped

it happened when it wanted it to

sometimes when I wake up

and the shock of having you by my side is so great

sleeping in my arms I’m astonished to find

someone else who feels the same

I just lie here and try

to fix the moment in my mind

it didn’t happen

when I prayed and prayed for it, oh no

or when I was so lonely, no, no, no

or when I was feeling strong enough

or when I had the money

or when I was looking good enough

or when I could have coped

it happened when it wanted to

it happened when it wanted to
