Lyrics
I always thought Maybe our fates were intertwined Paralleled lives Meeting as perpendicular lines You were there When I expected you the least And I think you must have felt the same way about me I've seen you in grocery store aisles And on busy streets I've seen you sitting in crowds And I've seen you in dreams At times I've pretended not to see you So we wouldn't have to speak Bеcause letting you percеive me Is the scariest thing I know the layout of your house And you know mine But I know nothing about you After all this time Never admitted that I Would like to feel your touch Or missed a halfway stranger Quite this much I asked your mom How you're doing in the city Said you've got a new girlfriend Well, I bet she's pretty And I've found someone too But when my face is in their neck I sometimes think of you I've seen you in grocery store aisles And on busy streets When someone asks you "What do you regret?" Do you think of me? At times I've pretended not to see you So we wouldn't have to speak Because letting you perceive me Is the scariest thing I know the layout of your house And you know mine But I know nothing about you After all this time Never admitted that I Would like to feel your touch Or missed a halfway stranger Quite this much And now I'm on the Red line It smells like beer And dirt And I'm thinking Of your face Pressed up To hers I'm swaying in my grimy seat Grappling with this feral dream With my fists I get off at Harvard Square And let you disappear Into thin air My thoughts of you Are heavy but brief They only get to me Momentarily I've seen you in grocery store aisles And on busy streets I guess I always thought That in the end You'd come back to me At times I've pretended not to see you So we wouldn't have to speak Because letting you perceive me Is the scariest thing I know the layout of your house And you know mine But I know nothing about you After all this time Never admitted that I Would like to feel your touch Or missed a halfway stranger Quite this much Halfway stranger Quite this much
