[Verse 1]
You're browsing in a secondhand bookstore
And you see him in nonfiction V through Y
He looks up from World War II
And then you catch him, catch him, you catch in his eye
[Verse 2]
So you quickly turn away your wishful stare
And take a sudden interest in your shoes
If you only had the courage, but you don't
He turns and leaves and you both lose
[Chorus]
And you think about the people that you never get to love
It's not as if you even had the chance
So many worth a second life
But rarely do you get a second glance
Until fate cuts in on your dance
[Verse 3]
And you'll see him on a train that you've just missed
At a bus stop where your bus will never stop
Or in a passing Buick
When you've been pulled over by a traffic cop
[Verse 4]
Or you'll share an elevator, just you two
And rise in solemn silence to your floor
Like the fool you are, you get off
And he leaves your life behind a closing door
You're browsing in a secondhand bookstore
And you see him in nonfiction V through Y
He looks up from World War II
And then you catch him, catch him, you catch in his eye
[Verse 2]
So you quickly turn away your wishful stare
And take a sudden interest in your shoes
If you only had the courage, but you don't
He turns and leaves and you both lose
[Chorus]
And you think about the people that you never get to love
It's not as if you even had the chance
So many worth a second life
But rarely do you get a second glance
Until fate cuts in on your dance
[Verse 3]
And you'll see him on a train that you've just missed
At a bus stop where your bus will never stop
Or in a passing Buick
When you've been pulled over by a traffic cop
[Verse 4]
Or you'll share an elevator, just you two
And rise in solemn silence to your floor
Like the fool you are, you get off
And he leaves your life behind a closing door
