歌詞

You're at a table by the window

I stand beside a crowded table

You look this way above your glass

I glance behind me just to check

There's no one waving from the doorway

I turn back; you're still looking here

I start to wave, then change my mind

And straighten out my sleeve instead

You smile, but I don't want to guess

At something you might never mean

I shift my glass into my left hand

And try to catch your eye again

Did you mean to look that long?

You set your glass down, eyes on mine

Did you mean to catch my eye?

Should I come over? Give me a sign

A couple moves between our tables

You turn to let them pass your chair

I watch the door until they've gone

Then find you looking back again

Your jacket's on the seat beside you

You fold it up across your knees

I take a sip to buy a second

And wonder if that seat is free

I could stay here and never know

Or find a way to say hello

I set my drink down on the table

And wait until you look this way

Did you mean to look that long?

You set your glass down, eyes on mine

Did you mean to catch my eye?

Should I come over? Give me a sign

The song gets quieter for a moment

You lay your hand across the chair

I raise my eyebrows; you nod once

There's just enough to start from there

Did you mean to look that long?

You set your glass down, eyes on mine

Did you mean to catch my eye?

Should I come over? Give me a sign

I cross the room and slow my steps

And stop beside the empty chair

"Is this seat taken? Can I sit?"

I smile and wait beside you there

I'm close enough to hear you now

I say my name where you can hear
