[Verse 1 – HIM] I caught her looking from across the room, Then she turned away too soon, Like she’d been caught dreaming Of something she could never have. She keeps her distance, keeps her eyes down, While I’m watching her from the other side of town, Funny how the girl who thinks she’s invisible Is the only thing I see tonight. She thinks I don’t notice, That little nervous smile, But I’ve been watching her watching me For quite a while. [Pre-Chorus] So I lean toward the boys and say, “Hey, does anybody know her name?” Where she’s from, what she does, How the hell she ended up here tonight? They shake their heads, “Never seen her before.” And somehow I want to know her more. [Chorus – HIM] She thinks I’m out of her league, Like I’m something she could never reach, But if she knew what’s going on inside, She’d know I’m barely getting by. Yeah, I’ve got the money, I’ve got the life, Cars in the driveway, city lights, But I’d trade every damn thing I own For one soft touch from her tonight. Just one glance held a second too long, One whispered word in the middle of a song, She thinks I’m above her pay grade— God, she’s got it backwards anyway. [Verse 2] She walks past me and the room goes quiet, Or maybe it’s just me trying to hide it. I catch the scent of her perfume And suddenly I forget what I was saying. She looks at me, then looks away, Like she’s afraid that she gave herself away. But sweetheart, if you only knew How hard I’m trying not to give myself away too. I’ve had women chase the name, The money, the house, the fame, But none of them ever made my heartbeat Kick this hard inside my chest. [Pre-Chorus] So I ask again, “Anybody know her?” Nobody does. And now I’m wondering If maybe she’s here alone, Just like me. [Chorus – HIM] She thinks I’m out of her league, Like I’m something she could never reach, But if she knew what’s going on inside, She’d know I’m barely getting by. Yeah, I’ve got the money, I’ve got the life, Everything they think a man should want, But I’d give it all up in a heartbeat Just to hear her say my name. One glance held a second too long, One whispered word in the middle of a song, She thinks I’m above her pay grade— God, she’s got it backwards anyway. [Instrumental Break] Flamenco guitar solo — rapid rasgueado building into distorted electric guitar. [Bridge – QUIET HIM] Maybe she thinks I’d never cross that line, Maybe she thinks A girl like her could never be mine. But I don't want another perfect stranger, I don't want another beautiful lie. I want the girl hiding in the corner Who doesn't know she already caught my eye. So if she looks at me again tonight, I'm not looking away. [Break – whispered] “What's your name?” [Final Chorus – BIG] She thinks I’m out of her league, But she’s the only thing I need, Forget the money, forget the lights, Forget this whole damn life. If she’d just reach out and touch my hand, I’d let the whole world understand— That all the things they think I own Aren’t worth a damn if I go home alone. One glance held a second too long, One whispered word and everything’s gone, She thinks I’m above her pay grade— But baby, you’re the one I’ve been waiting for. [Outro – Flamenco Guitar] Soft guitar returns. She thought I’d never notice... I was trying to find the courage to walk over. Final whispered line: “Hey... can I sit with you?”
