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'd never seen
When 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
'Cos 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)
Still the truth
Remains the only thing I want
(Still the truth)
(Remains the same)
Your kiss
And then you looked right 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 we 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
Slowly drifting aw
