| could i be the one thing
|
| missing from your life
|
| and from your everyday?
|
| i need you to be beside me,
|
| why don’t you call me and we’ll see?
|
| i see you having coffee
|
| you are almost beside me,
|
| laughing with your friends.
|
| i tell lorraine to look at you,
|
| i tell her i need to tell you
|
| i don’t know you
|
| but i want to
|
| i just can’t leave here
|
| without telling you --
|
| just how lonely i’ve been lately.
|
| you are just as lonely, maybe?
|
| we should go out for some coffee.
|
| i wonder how i can
|
| give you my phone number,
|
| and not be so afraid?
|
| i ask lorraine to give it to you
|
| when i go to the washroom.
|
| i return to the table
|
| i look, but i’m unable
|
| to find you anywhere.
|
| i ask lorraine to look for you,
|
| i tell her i need to tell you
|
| don’t know you
|
| but i want to
|
| i just can’t leave here
|
| without telling you --
|
| just how lonely i’ve been lately.
|
| you are just as lonely, maybe?
|
| we should go out for some coffee
|
| on the way out the door
|
| lorraine lets me know that she went up to you
|
| and gave you my number and said
|
| 'call him or else he’ll be sad.'
|
| and i waited, for two weeks and
|
| i realized that you’d never call me
|
| how could i have been so stupid
|
| i should have gone up to you and
|
| told you myself how you make me feel. |
