"Didn't Catch Your Name" [Verse 1] I had a hand full of bananas Standing in the checkout line You were headed for self-checkout Didn't stop, but you had the time I caught your eye near the magasine rack You smiled like we'd already talked I looked down, checked my phone for nothing Held on tighter to my bananas [Pre-Chorus] Then the cashier called out "next in line" Before I found a single word to say You gathered up your bags and walked on I let a stranger walk away [Chorus] We were eye contact by the register A smile I wonder about for days Two seconds that felt like something Lost in the rush to get out of here I meant to say something, anything "Hey" or "some weather" or "don't I know you somehow" Instead I just stood there, dumbfounded Watching the door swing shut behind you now [Verse 2] I replay it walking to the parking lot Should've said something, anything, why did I not Maybe you come here every Tuesday Maybe I'll get another chance someday I check the receipt like it's a clue Nothing on it tells me a thing about you Just a total, a time stamp, a store address A moment I already miss [Pre-Chorus 2] Now every grocery run's a maybe Every checkout line a might I keep half an eye on strangers Hoping one of them's you tonight [Chorus] We were eye contact by the register A smile I wonder about for days Two seconds that felt like something Lost in the rush to get out of here I meant to say something, anything "Hey" or "some weather" or "don't I know you somehow" Instead I just stood there, dumbfounded Watching the door swing shut behind you now [Bridge] No one warns you it's the small ones The ones you don't even try to keep That end up staying longer Than the ones you actually meet Maybe you forgot it by your car Maybe it never crossed your mind But I'm still standing in that market Wondering what I left behind [Final Chorus] We were eye contact by the register Now a face I can't quite place Two seconds turning into wondering If I'll ever see that smile again Next time I'll say something, anything "Hey" or "don't I know you from somewhere" I won't just stand there, dumbfounded I'll catch the door before it closes on us there [Outro] A hand full of bananas I didn't need A total I still keep Some chances don't come back around Some you just don't get to keep [End]
