Destiny Got the Best of Me*

I used to I think I had it figured out
What this whole damn world was about
But you showed me that I was blind
With the gift of a thousand doubts

And you took my hearts empty hand
And showed me I had to take a chance

And I felt the tips of our roots weave into each other
And our languages of love spoke to one another
But the moment that I thought that I understood

That’s when destiny got the best of me

It was just another ordinary moment
Like the kind I always seem to forget
When the forces pulling me to you just quit
And a seed of doubt grew in me again

And where our chance used to be
Distance stood between you and me

And I felt the tips of our roots die back from one another
And our languages of love turned against each other
But growth only happens at the edge of comfort

That’s when destiny got the best of me

And I believe that moments
Are sweeter than forever’s
They’re always waiting for us
To brave the darkest corners
And take the jewels they offer
And gift them to each other

That’s when destiny
Got the best of me

That’s when destiny
Got the best of me

That’s when destiny
Got the best of me

That’s when destiny
Gets the best of you

That’s when destiny
Gets the best of you
