Oh, hello and goodbye
so fast it's gone
I can't get your face from my mind
can't get your eyes from my
can't stop your voices
on that day you told me directions to
where I don't know now
it all flew by me
so all I can do is hope that you
come my way
oh and you're nowhere near me
that you'll be there and hope that
with luck, I'll see you again
Oh I didn't get your name
nor you mine
or the time of day
but you're stuck on me like a fly on a table
oh I'm waiting here where we stood for just a moment
and you stole my way
and I, and I wonder will I see you again
and way, way
without the smile, the smile that blows away
the wait is too long
I want this thing to go on
and there's no way that I might find you again
I must walk a way
I'm all released by time
bump into each other
it seems so right
and say hey aren't you the
weren't you the
don't you think
but I don't think it's going to happen today
I fear you'll remain a dream
rain, rain on me, yeah, yeah, yeah
your life is burned
your life burned into me
it did it
will I ever
so fast it's gone
I can't get your face from my mind
can't get your eyes from my
can't stop your voices
on that day you told me directions to
where I don't know now
it all flew by me
so all I can do is hope that you
come my way
oh and you're nowhere near me
that you'll be there and hope that
with luck, I'll see you again
Oh I didn't get your name
nor you mine
or the time of day
but you're stuck on me like a fly on a table
oh I'm waiting here where we stood for just a moment
and you stole my way
and I, and I wonder will I see you again
and way, way
without the smile, the smile that blows away
the wait is too long
I want this thing to go on
and there's no way that I might find you again
I must walk a way
I'm all released by time
bump into each other
it seems so right
and say hey aren't you the
weren't you the
don't you think
but I don't think it's going to happen today
I fear you'll remain a dream
rain, rain on me, yeah, yeah, yeah
your life is burned
your life burned into me
it did it
will I ever

just by a random act of fate, you stumble upon someone who just effects you, in a way you can't really explain, though you know nothing about them. they just consume your thoughts and you have no idea why, but you know that you would give anything to hit rewind and find them, find out who they are, and if they are somewhere thinking about you too. it's all about opportunities missed. i know a little too much about how that feels...

the song is about seeing someone but only after they're gone you realize how hot they were. you want to go after them, but by then they are lost in the crowd. you can't get them out of your head, although you probably won't ever see them again. you dream about how good it would have been with that person. it's torture. most of us can relate i think.
So, um, so we’ve been doing this, uh, this tour, what I guess this is our
Fifth show we’ve done, tim and i, and, uh... (applause) and, uh, so this little
Song has been growing out, uh, while we’ve been playing, sort of a little
Story. and the little story I was in new york city and, uh, I was walking down
The street. trying to find the place I was going (I can’t remember where I was
Going now). ’cause I met this girl and I asked her directions, you know. and
She was, she was tiny, you know. she, she wasn’t young, she was just tiny. and,
Uh, so I asked her directions and she said, ’oh that’s the way down there, walk
Over there, go down there, you walk over there, and you go down there and then
You’re there.’ something like that, anyway. so, uh, but I walked about ten
Paces away and I was thinking... daaamn, that girl was fine. and, oh, I turned
Around to tell her so, and ask her maybe her name, or maybe if we should go and
Get a cup of, who knows, coffee or something. and I’m sure if I turned around
And find
Her there I would have found out something...
But she talked so good
But when I turned around, she was gone
Oh, she was gone
I didn’t even get her name, oh
I thought, goddamn
With your face in my mind
And your voice in my ears
To echoes
Oh, I bought a lovely flower
Standing there, we met that day
And hope that you would return
But, no, no, no
I can’t remember where I was going
But I can’t remember where I was leading to
Or what led me to you, but
Oh, and the weight is all through my head
The look of you, the sound
The way you cackled at me
From then and then, I didn’t know where I was going
But always I cry
And so, hey, oh
The hands that pour my hands on you again
Hey, I will beg you, I’ll beg, oh
See me, please find me again
Oh, I’m lost again
I sit here drinking coffee
Or water depending the time of day
But, oh, you’re with me like a ghost of a mother
Oh, you’re with me like the pain of a father
Oh, I wish i, I wish I could call you something
Other than the girl that I saw then
But, hey, I think that I would recognize you in a second
But, hey, I only saw you for a minute, maybe less
I don’t hold my hand where
But I waited, honest
I’m lost now, I’m lost now
I can’t remember what I used to be
But, oh, hey, yeah, weighted by the memory of
The memory of a love that never got born, but hey
Oh, hey
Do I even cross your mind lately
With more than just a laughing
Did you think as you walked away, maybe
You were, hey
Oh, I hope you did
So, hey, yeah
You would, you would have been feeling
The same thing as I am know
the part where he says dddddddaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnn...that gril was fine is really funny
