First Glance Songtext
von Nam Deutsch

Caught between the bodies and the basement lights
Your silhouette cut through the noise like satellite
Gravity shifted when you turned around
My pulse became the only sound

Static in my chest, electric in my veins
The room dissolved to colors I can′t name
Your eyes-a constellation pulling me to shore
I've never been this lost before

Every breath suspended like a photograph
The world went quiet, only you and I could last
In that single heartbeat, something rewired
Set my whole sky on fire

In that first glance, I knew
The world just faded, all I saw was you
Like falling into light, into something true
In that first glance, I knew


Time bent around us, crystal and slow
My hands were shaking but I couldn′t let go
Of this feeling crashing through my bones
In that first glance, I found home

You smiled like dawn breaking over frozen ground
My nervous laugh-the sweetest, strangest sound
We spoke in glances, wrote our story without words
The most beautiful thing I'd ever heard

Your voice threaded silver through the crowded air
I memorized the way you pushed back your hair
Every detail burned into my mind like sun
Like we were always, we'd begun

Every breath suspended like a photograph
The world went quiet, only you and I could last
In that single heartbeat, something rewired
Set my whole sky on fire

In that first glance, I knew
The world just faded, all I saw was you
Like falling into light, into something true
In that first glance, I knew


Time bent around us, crystal and slow
My hands were shaking but I couldn′t let go
Of this feeling crashing through my bones
In that first glance, I found home

And I′m still dizzy from the way
You looked at me like I was worth the stay
Like every version of my life before
Was just a map leading to your door

The universe contracted to this moment here
Everything I'd been waiting for appeared
In your eyes, in your smile, in the space between
The most magic thing I′ve ever seen

In that first glance, I knew
The world just faded, all I saw was you
Like falling into light, into something true
In that first glance, I knew

Time bent around us, crystal and slow
My hands were shaking but I couldn't let go
Of this feeling crashing through my bones
In that first glance, I found home

In that first glance
(All I saw was you)
In that first glance
(I knew, I knew, I knew)
