[Verse 1]

I always thought

Maybe our fates were intertwined

Paralleled lives

Meeting as perpendicular lines

You were there

When I expected you the least

And I think you must have felt the same way about me

[Chorus]

I've seen you in grocery store aisles

And on busy streets

I've seen you sitting in crowds

And I've seen you in dreams

At times I've pretended not to see you

So we wouldn't have to speak

Bеcause letting you percеive me

Is the scariest thing

I know the layout of your house

And you know mine

But I know nothing about you

After all this time

Never admitted that I

Would like to feel your touch

Or missed a halfway stranger

Quite this much

[Verse 2]

I asked your mom

How you're doing in the city

Said you've got a new girlfriend

Well, I bet she's pretty

And I've found someone too

But when my face is in their neck

I sometimes think of you

[Chorus]

I've seen you in grocery store aisles

And on busy streets

When someone asks you

"What do you regret?"

Do you think of me?

At times I've pretended not to see you

So we wouldn't have to speak

Because letting you perceive me

Is the scariest thing

I know the layout of your house

And you know mine

But I know nothing about you

After all this time

Never admitted that I

Would like to feel your touch

Or missed a halfway stranger

Quite this much

[Verse 3]

And now I'm on the

Red line

It smells like beer

And dirt

And I'm thinking

Of your face

Pressed up

To hers

I'm swaying in my grimy seat

Grappling with this feral dream

With my fists

I get off at

Harvard Square

And let you disappear

Into thin air

My thoughts of you

Are heavy but brief

They only get to me

Momentarily

[Chorus]

I've seen you in grocery store aisles

And on busy streets

I guess I always thought

That in the end

You'd come back to me

At times I've pretended not to see you

So we wouldn't have to speak

Because letting you perceive me

Is the scariest thing

I know the layout of your house

And you know mine

But I know nothing about you

After all this time

Never admitted that I

Would like to feel your touch

Or missed a halfway stranger

Quite this much

Halfway stranger

Quite this much
