Contemplating, saying, "Hello"

It's irritating, how much you don't know

Just a stranger who boards the train

Before I get to say anything

Now I'm thinkin', devisin' a plan of what I might say

If we ever met, "Hey, how are you?

I know you don't know me, but would you like to?"

Yeah, this happens every day

I fall in love with a different face

And tonight, you'll be miles away

But I cannot quiet my mind

Somethin' different, somethin' new

I spend my whole life in a moment with you

Just a glimpse of a future that's not meant to happen

But for 30 seconds, I'd like to imagine

I think I read once maybe online that butterflies are

Just warnin' signs, but you got me in disarray

And I feel them anyways

Yeah, this happens every day

I fall in love with a different face

And tonight, you'll be miles away

But I cannot quiet my mind (ooh, ooh)

Somethin' different, somethin' new

Spend my whole life in a moment with you

Just a glimpse of a future that's not meant to happen

But for 30 seconds I'd like to imagine

There are millions of people, and millions of lifetimes

And maybe in one of them, I found my voice

And I told you I liked you, and then came for coffee

In five years we're married, a house and a family

Then I snap out of it, realize I'm crazy

And watch your train pass me by

Yeah, this happens every day

I fall in love with a different face

And tonight, you'll be miles away

And I'll push you out of my mind

(Ooh) somethin' different, somethin' new

I spent my whole life in a moment with you

And I saw the future was fun while it lasted

It was just 30 seconds, but still I imagined
