"The Night We Never Met" lyrics

"The Night We Never Met"

On the night we never met
I saw you standing
In a crowded station
Waiting for a train
Or maybe you were staring out from a cafe
And I was walking by in the rain

Did I make you up
Or did my eyes deceive me
Did you pause just long enough
To almost see
One star crossed lover
Who keeps missing the other
A random spark not meant to be

Were we ships destined to pass
All the dreams
All the laughs
All the years not growing old together
Was the hour too late
Did chance mess with fate
Leaving us forever untethered

Now I'm often quiet
But I'm always listening
And if I can't be strong
I hope that I am kind
But I keep thinking
Some part of me is missing
And I miss it
Because you're not mine

Is love simply an accident of timing
A collision of coincidence and yet
Ancient history or mystery
I wish you had kissed me
On the night
That we never met
Ancient history or mystery
I wish you had kissed me
On the night that we never met
On the night that we never met
