Description
This is me, Patrick, doing all the singing, playing all the instruments, and mixing/recording. This song simply chronicles those "dramatic looks across a crowded room" that sometimes take place between strangers and evoke useless fantasies of intuitive love.
Lyrics
The way you are looking at me I would think you had suddenly seen a ghost, 'cause you’re looking like you’ve been startled But no, it was just my face that you noticed as I surveyed the place and took note of your smile’s vanishing traces CHORUS: I could be the one for you, but that would be a crime That would mean the one your with isn’t worth your time But it’s taking a gamble to decide I’m gonna be the one you’re leaving with tonight = There’s not a thing I can do to to scare off everybody but you so the payoff of this rendezvous could be nothing Glances will just have to do on the chance that we get introduced Pretend that you weren’t just daydreaming of me Chorus …. Or will I be the one your leaving This is so embarrassing, I don’t know your name But I feel like I know you just the same If someone causes a disturbance, let’s escape I gotta know if you’re as special as you seem Or are you really only just the stuff of dreams I thought that love at first sight wasn’t real, but that’s exactly how I feel If you just came up to me and told me that I’d never be Alone anymore I would probably believe you You’ve got a face that I trust and my heart's been covered in dust so grace it by blowing a kiss over to me I could be the one for you but that would be a shame That would make the one your with some cheap parlor game But it’s taking a gamble, are you brave? Or are you crazy for considering Chorus
