Music

I see you walk past me every single day

You never look at me or even say hey

I stand and watch you from across the room

I feel like I am facing my own doom

You wear your jacket colored dark and blue

I memorize each detail that I view

You walk with purpose straight and tall and proud

I want to shout my feelings to the crowd

Monday you pass me by without a glance

I miss the opportunity and chance

Tuesday you drop your papers on the ground

I want to help but I don't make a sound

Wednesday you look so tired and so sad

I want to tell you that it ain't so bad

Thursday you almost smile my way a bit

My heart begins to race and split and hit

Friday you're wearing red and looking fine

I wish that you could finally be mine

Saturday you're nowhere to be found

I search for you all over the whole town

Sunday I lie awake and think of you

I wonder if you think about me too

I count the days we wasted being scared

I wonder if you even really cared

When we met we were strangers passing through

We acted like we didn't have a clue

Two hearts were beating loudly in the dark

But we were both too scared to make a mark

When we met we were strangers all the time

We built our walls so high we couldn't climb

But something kept us coming back for more

Two strangers who were destined to explore

I know your coffee order black and sweet

I know the rhythm of your walking feet

I know the way you run your hand through hair

I know the way you stand and how you stare

I know you like the window seat the most

I know you're scared of being just a ghost

I know you have a dimple on your chin

I know you want to let the love begin

One day I finally gathered all my guts

I walked up to you feeling like a nut

You looked at me with surprise in your eye

I thought that I was going to truly die

I opened up my mouth to say a word

But everything I planned just went unheard

You laughed and said you knew me all along

And that my silence felt completely wrong

You told me that you watched me every day

You knew the words I never learned to say

You knew my favorite color and my shoe

You knew the things I wanted us to do

We sat and talked for hours on the spot

We shared the secrets that we both had got

We laughed about the months we lost in fear

We cried about the time we wasted here

When we met we were strangers passing through

We acted like we didn't have a clue

Two hearts were beating loudly in the dark

But we were both too scared to make a mark

When we met we were strangers all the time

We built our walls so high we couldn't climb

But something kept us coming back for more

Two strangers who were destined to explore

Now we walk hand in hand down every street

We don't pretend that we don't ever meet

We stop at coffee shops and hold our cups

We kiss each other while the world erupts

We pass the elevator where we stood

The one where we both knew we never could

But now we ride it up and laugh so loud

We're not ashamed and we are not so proud

We go back to the places we would hide

The corners where our feelings stayed inside

We sit and watch the people passing by

And wonder why we ever had to cry

You tell me that you love me every morn

I tell you that my heart was always torn

But now it's mended with your gentle hands

And we are making all our future plans

I think about the months we played the game

The silence that we both refused to name

The way we looked away and held our breath

The way we both were scared of love and death

You think about the nights you stayed awake

The promises you didn't want to break

The fear of being hurt and being left

The moments when you felt so so bereft

But now we're here together side by side

We don't have anything that we can hide

We pour our hearts out to each other true

There's nothing in this world we cannot do

Our friends all say we make a perfect pair

They see the way we constantly just stare

Into each other's eyes like we are high

They say our love could never ever die

We broke through every barrier we faced

We walked through fire and we never chased

The shadows that were haunting us before

We opened up and found an open door

We found each other in the darkest night

We held each other and we saw the light

We proved that strangers can become the one

Who makes your life feel like it's just begun

When we met we were strangers passing through

We acted like we didn't have a clue

Two hearts were beating loudly in the dark

But we were both too scared to make a mark

When we met we were strangers all the time

We built our walls so high we couldn't climb
