lyrics

There’s a stranger middling down the dark damp street
Shadows flickering from the street lamp of some cement-mixed feet
Echoing a voice once-forgotten
Through a tear stain I had missed
Never noticed before, maybe there is something more to this

Day and night I pass you by
Never to stop and say hello or goodbye
Like I did before
Our worlds began to divide

I used to know the girl you were
Now the memories are fogged over
Although I saw you there
I didn't recognise your face

On the other side of the street
There's her world and I can't touch it
Though there's only a beat between us
We always seem to look the other way

The days when you walk by
We never catch each others eyes
And as you never notice
It's never a surprise
That when I see your smile
I know it isn't for me

And It's strange with a tear in our hearts
We walk together but we're always apart
But this is how it is
We can't seem to even glance,

To the other side of the street
With her world, but I can't touch it
Although there's only a beat between us
We always seem to look the other way

And is it true what they say about forlorn love
That its best to throw away that silly thing
And could anybody even try to understand .
Why anyone would ever want to go away
And why anybody would want to leave
The one you should have loved on

The other side of the street
There's her world and I can't touch it
Although there's only a beat between us
We always seem to look the other way
