State Street
You don't know me
But I know your wife
We had something long ago
You don't know me
But you must know what it's like to love that woman so
You don't know me
But I know the style of your kitchen sink
And I know if you don't turn the handle right then the faucet leaks
And I know all your cigarette secrets and shames
I've seen it all before
And it turned out not quite how I wanted but honestly I don't mind
I passed you on State Street, man isn't life crazy, the passage of time as it changes her mind
You don't know me
But I've often thought I should take you out for lunch
I would tell you how she broke your coffee pot
And how she loves you very much
You don't know this, but she's got a note hidden somewhere in her drawer
You might find it as you put away her clothes
It might not be there at all
I'm not sorry for stealing the seconds I could
If I can't anymore
Then it turned out not quite how I wanted but honestly I don't mind
I passed you on State Street, man isn't life crazy, the passage of time as it changes her mind
You don't know me and you never will
Just a stranger on the street
You can pass without a speck of memory
For that matter, so can she
I don't know you but I know you're kind
And you hide your worries well
When you stopped me it was just to ask the time
There was nothing more to tell
I smiled, you kept pushing the stroller, I thought about asking her name
But it turned out not quite how I wanted and honestly I don't mind
Now she's got a baby, man isn't life crazy, the passage of time as it leaves us behind
But I know your wife
We had something long ago
You don't know me
But you must know what it's like to love that woman so
You don't know me
But I know the style of your kitchen sink
And I know if you don't turn the handle right then the faucet leaks
And I know all your cigarette secrets and shames
I've seen it all before
And it turned out not quite how I wanted but honestly I don't mind
I passed you on State Street, man isn't life crazy, the passage of time as it changes her mind
You don't know me
But I've often thought I should take you out for lunch
I would tell you how she broke your coffee pot
And how she loves you very much
You don't know this, but she's got a note hidden somewhere in her drawer
You might find it as you put away her clothes
It might not be there at all
I'm not sorry for stealing the seconds I could
If I can't anymore
Then it turned out not quite how I wanted but honestly I don't mind
I passed you on State Street, man isn't life crazy, the passage of time as it changes her mind
You don't know me and you never will
Just a stranger on the street
You can pass without a speck of memory
For that matter, so can she
I don't know you but I know you're kind
And you hide your worries well
When you stopped me it was just to ask the time
There was nothing more to tell
I smiled, you kept pushing the stroller, I thought about asking her name
But it turned out not quite how I wanted and honestly I don't mind
Now she's got a baby, man isn't life crazy, the passage of time as it leaves us behind
