You Could Meet Somebody

You could meet somebody, you never know

From brief encounters habits grow

Into giant oaks that hide the sun

Life in the shadows ain't no fun

It's easy getting up there, never think of coming down

Not hard to say I want you when you're floating on a cloud

But you know that lonely feeling and you know things ain't right

'Cause it's only the beginning of a cold and sleepless night

You could meet somebody, you never know

From brief encounters, habits grow

Into giant oaks that hide the sun

Your only chance is to turn and run

You could meet somebody, you never know

From brief encounters, habits grow

Into giant oaks that hide the sun

Your only chance is to turn and run

It's harder getting up there, and it's painful coming down

'Cause now you can't see clearly beneath the thunder cloud

And the loneliness gets longer when nothing's goin' right

And things ain't getting any better with another sleepless night

You could meet somebody, you never know

From brief encounters, habits grow

Into giant oaks that hide the sun

Your only chance is to turn and run

You could meet somebody, you never know

From brief encounters, habits grow

Into giant oaks that hide the sun

Your only chance is to turn and run

You could meet somebody, you never know

From brief encounters, habits grow

Into giant oaks that hide the sun

Your only chance is to turn and run

You could meet somebody, you never know

From brief encounters, habits grow
