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
