Lovely Tonight Lyrics

Cover art for Lovely Tonight lyrics by Joshua Radin

so, i could be way off, but i think it is about a hopeful lover. all the things one hopes to find in a person, which explains the "you would be." implying that the eventual lover will be surprising, but all the things he's written for her...

however; the "i'm still surprised" is still throwing me on that meaning, so, i'm just not entirely sure!

i think the surprised represents the surprise of falling in love with someone. when you're surprised at not only who it is, but how amazing it is.
