I just happened to see you on the other side of the turn style
I've been walking these city streets for years holding only a paycheck
I'm not especially hoping or dreaming for something to get me going, but
I'll be sure to check for you the next time I can remember

good luck sweet heart
we'll see what comes
these next few weeks
might bring a change

I just happened to bump into you this morning on my way to work
I've been commuting the same time everyday and never seen you before
I'm not entirely sure if I could call this fate or coincidence
I'll have to see if these jovial words open you to open me

Here's my number
I live alone
this uptown girl
is in control

I just happened to find out your favorite band is mine as well
I've been talking to the people in our building about the new hires
I'm not gonna tell you any of the things I am learning everyday
I'll watch you from behind this fake plant while you eat alone

this ain't spying
merely gazing
into people
before sliding

I just happened to overhear some people talking way too loud
I've been sitting at this bar entirely too long to leave right now
I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear a single thing about myself
I'll make sure I run into you tomorrow to see if it is really true

this is too much
waiting tonight
until the dawn
I couldn't sleep

I just happened to bring out my handheld wireless hand held console
I've been checking the chat rooms every time I turn it on
I'm finally talking to someone I never met before
I'll pretend I don't recognize you seeming to respond on your very own

I'm over here
sitting around
watching you now
reading these words

I just happened to notice we would be perfect for one another
I've been in this game for years and only now can I understand
I'm gonna forget about the mistakes I've made up until now
I'll shout it out to anyone listening in this, my grandstand

Call me Corny
Smile Aloud
Call me Clever
repeat the sound

I just decided I am ready to try to move myself in your direction
I've been waiting a long time for the desire to put myself out there
I'm gonna take these things one step at a time, heading your way
I'll find you on the next train ride and approach you for the second time

When you see me
don't turn away
I will tell you
What it's about
years of thank yous
will beg your lips
against my own
and we will hold
onto the future
together here
Alone I pray
to move forward
into an embrace
Sticky, unyielding
A bond unending
Dear Lord I pray
Bring me this man
So I can learn
What it is you mean
by love. Amen

I just happened to begin to understand these things one by one
I've been starving for a knowledge I never knew existed
I'm gonna try and figure out your perfect untouchable concept
I'll always be searching for your perfection, to feel your everything

I just happened to recognize your beauty one thing at a time
I've been happy to pretend it never made an impact on me
I'm no longer too proud to lie to one who cares so much.
I'll put forth my best effort to give back everything you gave me

Dear Father
Give me the courage
To do your good works
sharing the only worthy thing

I just happened to notice we would be perfect for one another
I've been in this game for years and only now can I understand
I'm gonna forget about the mistakes I've made up until now
I'll shout it out to anyone listening in this, my grandstand
