Hoping That I Don't

There's someone on the pavement by your window

I remember seeing you here a year ago

Caught in the reflection looking tired and alone

Hoping I run into you, hoping that I don't

Tale as old as time

I'll drink the dark red wine

An ache, a fear to call you mine

But it's fine, never mind

Angel in the kitchen with the setting sun

Something's going on downstairs but we don't really know

Call my name and laugh again, I don't want you to go

Hoping that you understand, hoping that you don't

Tale as old as time

I'll drink the dark red wine

An ache, a fear to call you mine

But it's fine, never mind

(Tale as old as time)

(I'll drink the dark red wine)

(An ache, a fear to call you mine)

Down the line where we still find a way to say hello

Distant friends, you say we can, still somebody I know

A memory, a fever dream still walking down your road

Hoping I relent to you, hoping that I don't
