[Verse 1] You came in sideways Like a secret move I saw the setup But I didn’t see you One pawn on the edge One glance from the side You changed the whole board In a blink of my pride I played it so safe Kept my king behind Then you slipped past the line And you read my mind [Pre-Chorus] Now I’m caught in the gap Where the old rules bend One step too close And I’m yours again [Chorus] En passant, en passant You took my heart in stride En passant, en passant Right as I moved aside I thought I was guarded I thought I was smart But you came through the silence And took my heart (took my heart) [Verse 2] You didn’t come swinging You came clean, you came slow Like a pawn with a purpose And nowhere else to go I kept all my pieces Lined up in a row Then you crossed that border And the whole room froze Now every old warning Feels a little too late ’Cause love is a board Where you learn by the break [Pre-Chorus] Now I’m caught in the gap Where the old rules bend One step too close And I’m yours again [Chorus] En passant, en passant You took my heart in stride En passant, en passant Right as I moved aside I thought I was guarded I thought I was smart But you came through the silence And took my heart (took my heart) [Bridge] Maybe that’s love A move you never plan A sudden small mercy In a stranger’s hand No dramatic warning No thunder, no sign Just one clean move And you were mine [Final Chorus] En passant, en passant You took my heart in stride En passant, en passant Right as I moved aside I thought I was guarded I thought I was smart But you came through the silence And took my heart (took my heart) En passant, en passant You took my heart in stride
