“One Spilled Drink” lyrics
Hey, beautiful collision
Perfect accident
If I had caught the earlier train
If you had chosen to stay out of the rain
If I hadn't spilled my drink on your shoe
I could have lived my whole life without you
Seven billion people spinning around
And you picked the one seat by me going downtown
The odds are ridiculous, the math is insane
We ended up laughing on the very same train
I didn't see you coming
I was looking away
Now I wouldn't have it
Any other way
Beautiful collision (hey)
One spilled drink on your shoe
One late train and I'm into you
Beautiful collision
One wrong train (hey)
One spilled drink (hey)
One shy laugh
Led me to this
My friends say fate is a fairytale lie
They say the stars are just gas in the sky
But how do you logically try to explain
The way you rewired every thought in my brain?
Your drink hit my shoe, then your hand found mine
The carriage went loud but we fell out of time
We might have been strangers just passing by
Instead you're the reason I missed my stop tonight
Beautiful collision (hey)
One spilled drink on your shoe
One late train and I'm into you
Beautiful collision
One wrong turn
One little rain
One wrong turn
One little rain
I don't believe in magic, I believe in math
But something I can't measure put you on my path
Your ticket stub is still inside my coat
The only proof I kept, the only note
Beautiful collision (hey)
One spilled drink on your shoe
Every morning now you're next to me
Beautiful collision
Perfect accident
Beautiful collision
