But I thought I heard you say
 "I just walked past him"
 But why can I never do anything before you go
 I don't know

 And outside the streets are empty
 There was no time then
 And now there's
Oh why do I never get the chance to say a word
 When you're on your own

 If there's nothing that I want more
 Why do my steps get this small
 When I reach your front door
 And I wait outside for you to come back out
 And your light goes out

 You don't know me but I'm still here
 And God the last time I saw you
 You were, oh, this near
 And there's a thousand things I wished I'd said and done
 But the moment's gone
