Out of Nowhere
John Green & His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You came to me from out of nowhere
You took my heart and found it free
Wonderful dreams, wonderful schemes from nowhere
Made every hour sweet as a flower to me
And if you should go back to your nowhere
Leaving me with the memory
I'll always wait for your return out of nowhere
Hoping you'll bring your love to me.

When I least expected, kindly fate directed
You to make each dream of mine come true
And if it's clear or raining there is no explaining
Things just happened and so did you.

You came to me from out of nowhere
You took my heart and you found it free
Wonderful dreams, wonderful schemes from nowhere
Made every hour sweet as a flower to me
And if you should go back to your nowhere
Leaving me with, with the memory




I'll always wait for your return out of nowhere
Hoping you'll bring your love to me.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to John Green & His Orchestra's song "Out Of Nowhere" describe a miraculous encounter with love. The singer recalls how their love interest appeared in their life, seemingly out of nowhere, and freed their heart. They even remark that this person brought "wonderful dreams, wonderful schemes from nowhere" and made every hour feel as sweet as a flower. The lyrics also suggest that the singer is deeply afraid of losing this newfound love, and they would patiently wait for their return if they ever had to go back to their "nowhere."


Throughout the song, the lyrics imply that this love was unexpected and almost serendipitous. The line, "Things just happened and so did you" highlights the fortuitous nature of their meeting. It's as if fate intervened, bringing these two people together for a moment in time. However, despite the potential impermanence of their love, the singer remains hopeful and optimistic, hoping that this person will come back to them and bring their love once again.
