Lyrics
I saw you from a distance
You fit the mold of everything I need
Your eyes and smile so precious
Illuminating a new and gorgeous sea
You move like you’re from heaven,
With that dominance and tenderness so rare
You bear your soul wide open
Inviting me to be a better me
[Chorus]
I’m dropping my defenses
I’m learning love has many ways to grow
Incredible new senses
Who would’ve thought my heart is bigger than I’ll ever know
And then I met you too dear
You were so confident and bashfully sweet
Someone I hadn’t looked for
But you somehow started sweeping me off my feet
Your ups and downs are human,
And that’s okay because you wear your heart right there on your sleeve
You bear your soul wide open
Inviting me to be a better me
[Chorus]
Who would’ve thought our hearts are bigger than we’ll ever know
[Bridge]
I used to think I knew what I wanted
I used to think I only had one type
For the longest time I thought I knew what attraction meant to me
But there’s more
There’s always more
[Drop Chorus]
[Chorus]
Who would’ve thought our hearts are bigger than we’ll ever know
Our hearts are bigger
My heart is bigger, yeah
Who would’ve thought my heart is bigger than I’ll ever know
