about

The lyrics are partially found poetry from various "missed connections" posts on Craigslist.

lyrics

riding on the subway, trying not to notice
the way your mouth moves when you talk
sitting kind of sideways, hoping you might see me
and then we could go for a walk
wouldn't it be nice if you just sat down next to me
we could talk for hours and hold hands so quietly

but you walk along, and then you're gone
you walk along, and then you're gone
you walk along, and then you're gone
gone away from me

to the dark-haired beauty in the snack aisle:
i really liked our game
when you passed by and you smiled,
i nearly forgot my name
wouldn't it be nice if we could just get back together
eat our chips and dips and watch some old movies forever

but you walk along, and then you're gone
you walk along, and then you're gone
you walk along, and then you're gone
gone away from me

paper diamond, orange peel, the best night of my life
'i have to go, you're beautiful,' and then into the night
wouldn't it be nice if there was no such thing as curfew
we could drink and dance and i might fall in love with you

but you walk along, and then you're gone
you walk along, and then you're gone
you walk along, and then you're gone
gone away, gone away, gone away from me
