[Verse 1] Somehow got here early, third row center The plan was front row but I lost the group Wore my best shoes — wrong choice, completely Got stepped on twice before the opening tune
Had the merch, the set list printed out Whole discography on a hand-sewn patch Been rehearsing casual since three weeks back Like: hey cool show, I’m fine, it’s not a thing — detach
[Pre-Chorus - three inner voices, total meltdown] Okay they’re coming on Don’t scream don’t scream Okay I screamed a little I— THAT’S HER
[Chorus] Taken Completely taken off my feet Taken The moment she looked straight at me I was just a face in a thousand faces Hoping you’d see me and take me away She sings the songs I live for I’m so taken Taken
[Verse 2] I knocked my drink on the person ahead Said sorry fourteen times — they didn’t hear I climbed on the barrier, fell off the barrier Swear it looked more graceful in my mirror
Then the spotlight came around the left I tracked it like I’d been doing all night long For one second, completely accidental I was not just a stranger in the throng
[Pre-Chorus] Wait — she’s looking No she’s not She’s definitely looking — I— …at me?
[Chorus] Taken Completely taken off my feet Taken The moment she looked straight at me I was just a face in a thousand faces Can you hear my heart beat come take me away She sings the songs I live for I’m so taken Taken
[Bridge - slower, almost breathless] I don’t know how to explain What happens when you stop being invisible To someone who doesn’t know your name I was just standing there In my too-tight shoes And somehow the whole crowd disappeared And it was just me And the music And her
[pop drop - concert energy burst]
Ok let me try to drop a Riff and let it shred! [Guitar Solo][Melodic Solo]
[Pre-Chorus - overwhelmed, laughing at herself] Okay that just happened Did that just happen I think she saw me and I— Yeah. She saw me.
[Chorus] Taken Completely taken off my feet Taken The moment she looked straight at me I was just a face in a thousand faces Now she saw me I’m so taken away We’re singing the songs I live for I’m so taken Taken
[Final Chorus - key lift] Taken Completely taken off my feet Taken The moment she looked straight at me I was just a face in a thousand faces Looking right at me completely taken Yeah she found me anyway I’m so taken So taken
[Outro - warm, memory-like fade] I’m so taken So taken I’m so taken So taken We’re both so taken So taken
I’m so taken So taken I’m so taken So taken We’re both so taken So taken
That was the night That changed everything Third row, wrong shoes Best night of my life …taken
