A#            Gm
What took you so long?
A#             Gm
Your lasting impression
answered questions words unknown

A#            Gm
What took you so long and
                     A#
what are you waiting for?
                    Gm
Oh kiss me I forget how it
feels I am not searching anymore

Gm    F/A     A#
And I was not me until
 Gm   F/A     A#
I  Discovered you for
the first time

Chorus:
A#
I think I'm feeling
Cm            A#/D
like somebody I found
              Gm
some bliss in our
insignificance
A#            Cm
  No question no
doubt about it
A#/D
You are the difference
Gm                 A# Cm A#/D
you are significant
    Gm             A#  Cm A#/D
You make me significant
Gm
You are significant

What took you so long and where
have you always been?
You're so sharp,
I love your disregard for anyone
and everything
Disruption of ourselves, sending energy
We are connecting now in new forms,
in better ways
This intelligence is an epiphany

And I was not me until I
Discovered you for the first time

Chorus
A#/D A#  Cm         A#/D
       Before you I could not
Gm  F               A#/D A#
see how I would coincide
         Cm
With the big world
         A#/D   Gm  F
and such little time

I was not me until I
Discovered you
I was not me until I
Discovered you for the first time

Chorus:
I think I'm feeling like somebody
I found some bliss in our insignificance
No question, no doubt about it
You are the difference, you are significant
(I was not me until I
Discovered you)
You make me significant
(I was not me until I
Discovered you)
You are significant
