(Intro)
(soft guitar + vinyl crackle)
I saw you once…
once in a lifetime…
⸻
(Verse 1)
Why am I still thinking of you?
Why do you show up out of nowhere?
In random moments
empty rooms
songs I barely even knew
The night I met you
was the first and last time
But somehow
you stayed in my mind
⸻
(Verse 2)
You were standing next to me
long blond hair, blue eyes
Shining through the dark
like the room had turned around you
That black leather jacket
fit you way too well
And when you spoke
the whole crowd faded into silence
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
I noticed you first
but never thought
you would even notice me
You moved so slowly
like the music belonged to you
⸻
(Bridge)
(layered vocals, going lower)
I looked at youuuuu…
(ouhhhh…)
And noticed
you looked at me too…
⸻
(Chorus)
Dear stranger, where you are
I searched for you everywhere
But you’re more like a shooting star
Gone before I knew who you are
And it’s killing meeeee…
(deeper layered vocals)
I hope it’s killing youuuuu…
That I may never see you again
So tell me… what do I do?
⸻
(Verse 3)
Neither of us was alone there
You were with somebody
So was I
Maybe that’s why
we stayed strangers
Two people
caught inside the wrong moment
Too close to forget
too far to begin
⸻
(Bridge 2)
Sometimes I wonder
if you remember me at all
Or if I was just another face
inside the flashing lights
⸻
(Final Chorus)
Dear stranger, where you are
I still search for you in crowded bars
In every song
in every spark
Like somehow fate would leave a mark
And it’s killing meeeee…
(ouhhhh…)
I hope it’s killing youuuuu too…
That we met for just one night
and disappeared with morning light
⸻
(Outro)
(soft orchestra swelling)
I saw you once…
once in a lifetime…
