Little Dragon singing about the beauty of living in a state of let go. They don’t try to control their circumstances, but simply take what life gives them. They seem to believe that whatever happens is meant to be and is not a coincidence but rather a part of the unfolding of their destiny.
[Verse 1]
I was walking home, looking at the trees
Got the feeling that they were looking back at me
Thoughts that occurred to me were not of the usual kind
And I don’t take that for granted, no
I don’t call them mine, I don’t call them mine
‘Cause in my life things are built on
They're built on
[Chorus]
Constant surprises coming my way
Some call it coincidence, but I like to call it fate
Constant surprises coming my way
Some call it coincidence, but I like to call it fate
[Verse 2]
The higher forces want to connect
Last night in my dream, I was talking to you
You know who you are, were you dreaming too?
‘Cause in my life, things are built on
They're built on
[Chorus]
Constant surprises coming my way
Some call it coincidence, but I like to call it fate
Constant surprises coming my way
Some call it coincidence, but I like to call it fate
[Verse 3]
Then on my way home, I met this guy
He was not so shy, you know, not that kind
We spoke, then suddenly, I could read his mind
You think it’s mad, but I don’t fool myself
You think it's odd, 'cause in my life
In my life, things are built on
They're built on
They're built on
[Chorus]
Constant surprises coming my way
Some call it coincidence, but I like to call it fate
Constant surprises coming my way
Some call it coincidence, but I like to call it fate
Constant surprises coming my way
Some call it coincidence, but I like to call it fate
Constant surprises coming my way
Some call it coincidence, but I like to call it fate
Constant surprises coming my way
Some call it coincidence, but I like to call it fate
