Lyrics

Was it their fantasy
Was it their legacy
to grasp at straws
to miss each other's calls
but when they picked up, all they could say was:

Hi
You're just another stranger on the street
Someone I happened to meet
Right place, right time
Your face turned to mine

Was it a wish
Was it fulfilled
to have that first kiss
a wish upon a star
but can a wish be killed
killed by silence
and absent minds
killed by time
indifference of all kinds

it never started
it stopped
stopped like a heartbeat
that failed to survive
no life, just the words

Hi
You're just another stranger on the street
Someone I happened to meet
Right place, right time
Your face turned to mine

Turned to mine
killed by silence
killed by time
coincidence
sayin' everything was right
everything was perfect
you were better than the last one
and, oh, was it so fun

tonight i
passed your house again
i looked up at the sky so high
thinking maybe we could try again
but I'm new now
and that was back then
picking up the phone saying
i don't need you
you don't need me
too fast too soon
just a distant memory
i..i...i
won't let this be my legacy
it was never a fantaseeeeee
oh oh

Hi
You're just another stranger on the street
Someone I happened to meet
Right place, right time
Your face no longer turned to mine
