[Sequence: Fingerpicked Intro | Verse 1 | Chorus | Verse 2 | Chorus | Bridge | Final Chorus | Outro] [Verse 1] I don't remember where I was going. Probably somewhere I had to be. Just another day moving around me, Faces passing quietly. Then somewhere in all that motion I looked up... And there you were. Our eyes met somewhere in the middle. And neither one of us looked away. [Chorus] For just a second... I swear I knew you. Like I'd seen those eyes before In some life I'd already lived through. And you smiled... Just enough to make me think Maybe you felt something too. For just a second... The whole world disappeared Except for you. [Verse 2] I knew nothing about you. Not your name. Not where you'd been. Didn't know what made you happy Or what had left its mark beneath your skin. But something in the way you looked at me Felt older than that day. Like a lifetime passed between us Before we both looked away. [Chorus] For just a second... I swear I knew you. Every road you'd ever taken, Every dream you couldn't hold onto. And you smiled... Like maybe somewhere in my eyes You saw a lifetime passing too. For just a second... There was nothing in this world We had to prove. [Bridge] I don't wish I'd stopped you. I don't wonder where you are. Some things aren't meant for keeping. Some things only leave a mark. Maybe if we'd said hello, The feeling would've disappeared. Maybe everything we needed Passed between us standing there. No promises. No beginning. Nothing either had to end. Just one impossible little moment... I'll probably never understand. [Final Chorus] For just a second... I swear I knew you. Not the life that brought you there, Just something quiet underneath you. And you smiled... And I smiled back... Then the world came rushing through. For just a second... Maybe you knew me too. [Outro | Fingerpicked Guitar] Then you kept walking. So did I. Back into the lives That had been waiting on either side. Two strangers Who never said a word. And maybe that's why It still feels so true. For just a second... I think I lived A lifetime with you. [Instrumental Outro] [End]
