I Didn't See It Coming Lyrics
Your familiar arms, I remember
We've been going transcontinental
Got no car, we just take a rental
(Money makes the wheels and the world go round)
Forget about it, honey
Your familiar arms, I remember
Everybody's talking about you
Every word's a whisper without you
(Money makes the wheels and the world go round)
Forget about it, honey
Trouble's never far away when you're around
(Money makes the wheels and the world go round)
Forget about it, honey
(I'm just not in the running)
I can see the world from a different side
Read about us in the morning papers
When we make it alive
(Make me dance, I want to surrender)
I'm just not in the running
(Make me dance, I want to surrender)
(Make me dance, I want to surrender)
We're following the right line
(Make me dance, I want to surrender)
I agree with Sebastian1, this song is about maturity.
When we are young we all want to go wild and surrender to our passions ("make me dance, I want to surrender"). Growing older we learn how the world is so full of constraints on those passions: no money, cheap rentals, budget train tickets. But with this recognition, we mature and we learn to count our blessings and make the most of what we have been given - we even embrace the odd situations life hands us (i.e. remembering "your familiar arms", "I can see the world from a different side", etc.).
In this way, maturity is really a form of humility about our limits as individuals. We understand ourselves as much about our constraints as about our passions.
Yet in the end, we still love the part of us that wants to let loose: "Make me dance, I want to surrender..."
Yes its about getting older , everything changes but still some facts could keep it trough the time.

I think that this song talks about maturity. It´s saying that he´s not flying anymore, about knowing the direction that you wanna take but in a real way of achieving it ( by train). Now he sees the world from a different side.
The lyrics include a 'make me dance, I want to surrender' refrain (repeated approx. eight times) at the end.
Beautiful song, about taking things slowly and enjoying life imho.
