The Kiss

It was a cold November evening
As I walked into the bar
I saw you talking with your friend
So near and yet so far

Why did I feel I knew you
Why did I want to tell you
When I know we haven't met
Don’t know if you even saw me
Did you even see me?

It was just a passing moment
But it felt like forever
I was like a drowning man
Whose whole life flashes before him
Except it was your life
I knew everything about you
Even friends and places
That I know I've never seen

Then the place was getting crowded
I stepped outside for some air
Stuck in the open doorway
Couldn't leave I couldn’t stay
There always comes that moment
In every conversation
When all but a fool can't think of anything to say

I don't know how I know her
Maybe in another life
'Cause I can't understand how
I could feel so close
To someone I don't know

You can say you will - You can say you will
You can say you won't
You can say anything you wish
Still the truth - But still the truth - Remains
Remains the only thing I want - Still the truth remains the thing I want

Your kiss

And then you looked straight at me
Or was it right through me?
You slowly turned your back
You turned and looked away
Then all but a fool can't think of anything to say

And so I stood there smiling
Slowly drifting away
And so I stood there smiling
Slowly drifting away
And so I stood there smiling
Slowly drifting away
And so I stood there smiling
Slowly drifting away
Slowly drifting away
Slowly drifting away
Slowly drifting away
Slowly drifting away
