I see him there in a coffee shop
So I sit across not too far away
Hoping we'll meet eye to eye and then say "Hi"
But all I do is wait
If he'd ever look up from that screen
If he'd ever look up he'd see me
But he's checking the news and the game and the weather
Watching the time and the mail but he never
Lifts his eyes from the desk Chin from the chest
He'd maybe see love if he'd ever look up
I guess it's just how we grew up
With all this stuff getting in the way
I wanna turn all the blinking lights off tonight
We'd be face to face
If he'd ever look up from that screen
If he'd ever look up he'd see me
But he's checking the news and the game and the weather
Watching the time and the mail but he never
Lifts his eyes from the desk Chin from the chest
He'd maybe see love if he'd ever look up
If these distractions weren't around
We'd be talking by now
But he'll never look up
He'll never look up
He'll never
He'll never look
he'll never look up
He'll never look up
He'll never look up
He'll never look
But if he'd ever look up from that screen
If he'd ever look up he'd see me
But he's checking the news and the game and the weather
Watching the time and the mail but he never
Lifts his eyes from the desk Chin from the chest
He'd maybe see love if he'd ever look up
If he'd ever look up
If he'd ever look up
