[Intro]
How could I have known in that moment
What we'd turn into?
I was alone in that moment
When I first met you
[Verse 1]
You reminded me of the river
With your eyes both green and blue
You reminded me of everything
Beautiful and true
[Verse 2]
Today, I walked to the Eiffel Tower
And I stood out in the rain
It was some empty power
I could not explain
[Verse 3]
As I stood along that river
Where the lovers left their chains
It reminded me of everyone
I had ever tried to claim
[Verse 4]
And they say time's the fourth dimension
They say everything lives and dies
But our love will live forever
Though, today, we said goodbye
How could I have known?
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
How could I have known in that moment
What we'd turn into?
I was alone in that moment
When I first met you
