Unexpected Things Lyrics by Devin Shelton

Sensation

2017

[Verse 1]
Just an ordinary boy met a girl from Illinois in the middle of nowhere
They watched the fading summer light
And they talked into the night
As the band played down the street
They sang da da da....
A thousand miles under his feet
A thousand memories to keep
And the towns all look the same
A sea of faces every night but only one burned in his mind
He would never be the same
[Chorus]
Life can bring unexpected things
We find ourselves in places we never thought we’d be
We can dream extraordinary dreams
With love and loss
We pay the cost of all that life can be
[Verse 2]
Then that Sunday morning came when he heard his sister say
Momma doesn’t have much time
Then the tears ran down his face driving down the interstate, as he said his last goodbye
[Chorus]
Life can bring unexpected things
We find ourselves in places we never thought we’d be
We can dream extraordinary dreams
With love and loss
We pay the cost of all that life can be
[Verse 3]
Ohh Time shows no favorites here
We live with joy we live with fear
We say goodbye to those we love and carry memories with us
And every day when I wake up and see her face
The sweetest girl from Illinois
I’ll never forget that you’re always here with us
[Chorus]
Life can bring unexpected things
We find ourselves in places we never thought we’d be
We can dream extraordinary dreams
With love and loss
We pay the cost of all that life can be
