I saw two people holding hands just yesterday 
It made me think of us
Two strangers in the subway
Don’t mind me I’m just passing through the crowded tube 
Trying to find an empty seat opposite you

I wish that I’d dare to say 
Hello, what is your name? 
I glance at your way 
Catch a smile
At the next stop you get off
When is the next time 
I will see you underground?

Last night I walked into a busy pub and found
That you were sitting there
I quickly looked around
To find an empty stool near you at the bar
Ordered a fancy drink to look more avant-garde

I wish that I’d dare to talk
But my speech came to a halt
I glance at your way
For a while
After the last drop you get up
Is this the last time I will see you downtown?

Oh what if we meet again?
A familiar feeling
We are strangers in the street
Going home
All alone

I wish that I’d dare to say 
Hello, what is your name?
I glance at your way 
Catch a smile
Before I know it you are gone 
When is the next time
I will see you around?
