Familiar Strangers

I saw two people holding hands just yesterday

It made me think of us

Two strangers in the subway

Don't mind me I'm just passing through the crowded tube

Trying to find an empty seat opposite you

I wish that I'd dare to say

Hello, what is your name?

I glance at your way

Catch a smile

At the next stop you get off

When is the next time

I will see you underground?

Last night I walked into a busy pub and found

That you were sitting there

I quickly looked around

To find an empty stool near you at the bar

Ordered a fancy drink to look more avant-garde

I wish that I'd dare to talk

But my speech came to a halt

I glance at your way

For a while

After the last drop you get up

Is this the last time

I will see you downtown?

Oh what if we meet again?

A familiar feeling

We are strangers in the street

Going home

All alone

I wish that I'd dare to say

Hello, what is your name?

I glance at your way

Catch a smile

Before I know it you are gone

When is the next time

I will see you around?
