Chapter Ten
KNOX
“ALL AT Once”
I wasn’t looking, wasn’t ready
Just another ordinary night
Crowded room, the hum of strangers
Then the world narrowed to your light
Time slowed down
Like it knew it should behave
Every doubt I’d ever carried
Stepped aside and made a way
Pre-Chorus
I’d heard the stories, never trusted
Love that comes without a fight
But my defenses fell like harvest apples, ripe
The moment that I caught your eye
Chorus
It hit me all at once, no warning sign
A spark in the dark, an unseen fault line
One look and suddenly everything’s new
I didn’t choose it, I just knew
I fell in love at first sight
Verse 2
You smiled like you already knew me
Like we’d met in some before time
Every step I took toward you
Felt like walking home
You said hello, the room went spinning
Every sound got pulled away
All my maybes turned to always
In the space of what you’d say
Pre-Chorus
Used to think love was a long road
Miles of learning how to try
But some truths don’t need directions
They just arrive
Fully formed with side eye
Chorus
It hit me all at once, no warning sign
A spark in the dark, an unseen fault line
One look and suddenly everything’s new
I didn’t choose it, I just knew
I fell in love at first sight
Bridge
If it all burns out
I’d still swear this moment’s true
Some things don’t need forever
Just a look from you
Final Chorus
Yeah, it hit me all at once, day bright
Every fear shriveled up in your light
One glance and the rest disappeared
I’ve never been more certain, never less afraid
And ahead, so much delight
I fell in love at first sight.
