Lyrics
MOMENT IN TIME
After cross-town traffic, at the station I arrive
Almost missed my destination but I just made it in time, just made it in time.
I took a seat by the window, pulled the curtain aside - there on the platform she was waiting, why was she standing outside, just standing outside?
I took a look at my paper; I was pretending to try to ignore the situation but I was captured by her eyes; I saw those eyes
Felt my heart start beating, the way she looked at me. Felt that we communicated, another time might have been, another time might have been
That moment in time cuts through the haze
Where is the smile and longing eyes? Where are they these days?
I played it out, a thousand times in my head; if only I had that moment in time, the chances I?d take? and if only?
As the train left the station, she made a gesture to me? her ticket bound one destination; mine only took her from me, only took her from me.
I still feel anticipation when I?m riding that line? Every time I leave that station, I live that moment in time, that moment in time.
That moment in time cuts through the haze. Where is the smile and longing eyes? Where are they these days?
I played it out, a thousand times in my head; if only I had that moment in time, the chances I?d take? and if only?
