There I was again tonightForcing laughter, faking smilesSame old tired, lonely placeWalls of insincerity, shifting eyes and vacancy Vanished when I saw your faceAll I can say is, it was enchanting to meet you

Your eyes whispered, "Have we met?"

Across the room, your silhouetteStarts to make its way to meThe playful conversation startsCounter all your quick remarksLike passing notes in secrecy

And it was enchanting to meet youAll I can say is, I was enchanted to meet you

This night is sparkling, don't you let it goI'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way homeI'll spend forever wondering if you knewI was enchanted to meet you

The lingering question kept me up2AM, who do you love?I wonder 'til I'm wide awakeAnd now I'm pacing back and forthWishing you were at my doorI'd open up and you would say

Line by Line Meaning

There I was again tonightI found myself in the same lonely place yet again

Forcing laughter, faking smilesI'm trying to mask my sadness with laughter and fake smiles

Same old tired, lonely placeThis place always makes me feel tired and lonely

Walls of insincerity, shifting eyes and vacancyEveryone here seems fake and insincere, with vacant eyes and selfish motives

Vanished when I saw your faceBut everything changed the moment I saw your genuine face

All I can say is, it was enchanting to meet youI can only say that meeting you was magical and captivating

Your eyes whispered, "Have we met?"Your eyes seemed to convey the question, "Have we met before?"

'Cross the room your silhouetteI noticed your silhouette from across the room

Starts to make its way to meAnd it started moving towards me

The playful conversation startsWe started having a lighthearted and fun conversation

Counter all your quick remarksI tried to match and respond to all of your witty comments

Like passing notes in secrecyOur conversation felt like exchanging secret notes meant only for us to understand

And it was enchanting to meet youThe whole experience of meeting you was truly magical

This night is sparkling, don't you let it goThis night is so special, don't let it slip away

I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way homeI'm filled with wonder and amazement, blushing even as I leave

I'll spend forever wondering if you knewI'll always wonder if you knew how much you affected me

The lingering question kept me upThe question of whether you felt the same way kept me up at night

2 AM, who do you love?At 2 AM, I couldn't help but wonder who you love

I wonder 'til I'm wide awakeMy mind won't stop wondering until I'm fully awake

And now I'm pacing back and forthI can't even stand still, I'm so restless

Wishing you were at my doorAll I can think about is you being at my doorstep

I'd open up and you would say, "Hey"If you were here, I'd open the door and you'd say hello

All I know is, I was enchanted to meet youAll I'm certain of is that meeting you was nothing short of enchanting

This night is flawless, don't you let it goThis night is perfect, so make sure you don't waste it

I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all aloneI'm still awestruck and dancing around even though I'm alone now

This is me praying thatI'm praying that

This was the very first pageThis was just the beginning

Not where the story line endsOur story doesn't end here

My thoughts will echo your name, until I see you againI can't stop thinking about you and will keep remembering until I see you once more

These are the words I held back, as I was leaving too soonThese are the words I didn't say because I felt like I had to leave too soon

Please don't be in love with someone elseI hope you're not already in love with someone else

Please don't have somebody waiting on youAnd I hope that you're not dating someone who's waiting for you
