The Element of Surprise lyrics

[Verse 1]

There’s a set of rickety stairs in between my heart and my head

And there ain’t much that ever bothers going up them

Here we go, I'm at it again

And once it’s started, it’s so tricky to stop

Suddenly reminded of things I thought I’d forgot

You’ve got me loosening up my grip on the plot

[Chorus]

And it feels like your entrance just caused the temperature to rise

You’d got a look in your eyes as you snuck in the side

[Verse 2]

And the place I thought I was at hasn’t yet invited me back

The trouble with the chase is it’s so easy to crash

Why colour in the lines if you’re just painting it black?

I thought they were kisses but apparently not

Do you end all your messages with an X marks the spot?

Just let me know when you want your socks knocking off

[Chorus]

And it feels like your entrance just caused the temperature to rise

You’d got a look in your eyes as you snuck in the side

Guess there’s nothing like the element of surprise

[Outro]

The element of surprise

The element of surprise

The element of surprise

The element of surprise
