Unexpected Heaven

Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Black and white, it was all I saw Everywhere I turned, everywhere I went Ice covered everything, too thick to ever thaw I couldn't see in front of me, I couldn't find solid ground, My world was crashing down around me, Any cries of help dying without a sound. So much time had gone by And I was slowly drifting Too much time had gone by And I was slowly fading But then you came to me, so unexpectedly, I couldn't see a thing You offered me, such a sweet reality, I wondered if I was dreaming You took my hand, made me understand the truth among the lies And wrapped in you, so safe and sound An unexpected heaven is what I found You were everything to me, my feet were finally on the ground, the world kept spinning quickly, but in your arms I stayed as it all crashed down So much time has gone by And I'm slowly seeing Too little time has gone by For me to rid of this feeling And then you came to me, so unexpectedly, I couldn't see a thing You offered me, such a sweet reality, I wondered if I was dreaming You took my hand, made me understand the truth among the lies And wrapped in you, so safe and sound An unexpected heaven is what I found Bright and true, I saw it in you Life and love, I had found it all A fairytale ending, it was in my sights All because of you, my unexpected knight And then you came to me, so unexpectedly, I couldn't see a thing You offered me, such a sweet reality, I wondered if I was dreaming You took my hand, made me understand the truth among the lies And wrapped in you, so safe and sound An unexpected heaven is what I found And wrapped up in you, so safe and sound Happiness is what I gained An unexpected heaven, is what I found
