[INTRO] (Rhodes alone) Maybe I knew you before I knew your name. Maybe that's why you always felt familiar. [VERSE 1] First time I saw you Something moved inside the room Like the air had been waiting For somebody to walk through You smiled like a memory I couldn't quite place And I wondered why my heart Already knew your face We talked until the morning Like we'd missed a thousand years You told me about your leaving I told you about my fears Neither one of us said forever Neither one of us had to Some things don't need a promise To feel like they're true [CHORUS] Maybe next time around I'll find you sooner Maybe next time around I'll know what to do Maybe next time around We won't be so afraid Maybe next time around I'll spend a little longer Looking at you [VERSE 2] There's a photograph between us That nobody ever took A little house beside the water A life inside a book I can almost hear you laughing I can almost see the rain Strange how something imaginary Can feel so real again Maybe love ain't always staying Maybe love ain't always gone Maybe some people touch your life And keep touching when they're gone [CHORUS] Maybe next time around I'll find you sooner Maybe next time around I'll know what to do Maybe next time around We won't be so afraid Maybe next time around I'll spend a little longer Looking at you [BRIDGE] (drums drop to brushes) What if time is just a circle? What if goodbye ain't the end? What if every road we travel Brings us back to where we've been? What if I have known you In a hundred different lives? A stranger at a bus stop... A lover in another time... A voice across a crowded room... A hand I almost touched... (pause) Would I recognize you? [FINAL CHORUS] Maybe next time around I'll find you sooner Maybe next time around I won't run away Maybe next time around I'll understand the feeling Before the moment disappears Before the night becomes the day Maybe next time around... [OUTRO] (soft backing vocals) Maybe... Maybe... Maybe I already know you. (Rhodes and guitar linger) Maybe that's the whole point. (bass fades)
