[Verse 1]
When I was younger everything seemed simple
When I was younger everything felt right
Well, I had to grow up
Had to move on
Had to find out how to let love grow
How to let love grow

[Chorus]
It caught me by surprise again
It caught me by surprise again
It caught me by surprise
This love, this life
It caught me by surprise, again

[Verse 2]
I was a young man when I fell in love
I was a young man who had never lost someone
Well I had to grow up
Had to move on
Had to find out how to let love go-o-o-o

[Chorus]
It caught me by surprise again
It caught me by surprise again
It caught me by surprise
This love, this life
It caught me by surprise, again
[Bridge]
If life and love is what you want, then you can take it
Just know it hurts so, when it hurts so bad you gotta let it go

[Chorus]
It caught me by surprise again
It caught me by surprise again
It caught me by surprise
This love, this life
It caught me by surprise, again
Caught me by surprise again

[Outro]
Would you walk for miles in the rain, now?
Could you fight a battle with the pain, now?
Life begins to fade, will you remain, now?
Leaving and escaping aren't the same
Would you walk for miles in the rain, now?
Could you fight a battle with the pain, now?
Life begins to fade, will you remain, now?
Leaving and escaping aren't the same
Would you walk for miles in the rain, now?
Could you fight a battle with the pain, now?
Life begins to fade, will you remain, now?
Leaving and escaping aren't the same
