The Kiss Madness

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
