When I saw you from the window
You passed the street corner in a flash
You almost left your shadow behind you
You almost tore the beautiful night into ribbons
Actually, what I want to ask is
How could you so easily be made to believe
Actually, what I want to ask is
How could you so easily
Give yourself up to the unfamiliar world
Maybe I'll see you this time next year
Maybe you'll look at me as if nothing happened
Actually, I want to say I'd rather be this way
than hear you yell out my name in the crowd
