Diana Dowding

I know you’re looking and I’m looking too
I know you’re waiting to watch me watching you
Slight turn in direction, we make the connection
Desire in reflection
Like we don’t have a choice, it’s a natural selection

I’ve never been there but I live in your house
I live in your mind and you in mine
We keep this tension tied up tight
We keep each other hidden in our lives

I know you’re looking and I’m looking too
I know you’re waiting to watch me watching you
Slight turn in direction, we make the connection
Desire in reflection
Like we don’t have a choice, it’s a natural selection

We're lost lovers who search for each other
my face is your map, eyes set wide like a trap
with a snap of attraction, again we're attached

I know you’re looking and I’m looking too
I know you’re waiting to watch me watching you
Slight turn in direction, we make the connection
desire in reflection
Like we don’t have a choice, it’s a natural selection

When I’m out I drive aimless and slow
Because no roads lead where I want to go
The times of my life, wanting more
I’m jealous of myself before

I know you’re looking and I’m looking too
I know you’re waiting to watch me watching you
Slight turn in direction, we make the connection
desire in reflection
Like we don’t have a choice, it’s a natural selection

You've got flowers in the garden
A path leading to your door
A mat that's sayin welcome
And a storm lamp on the porch
It lights the way it darkness
You put it there every night
But it ain't ever gonna get me
Up there
And this ain't ever gonna be my life.

You got a hot tub in the backyard
Some sparkling wine on ice
You got a couple of little kitties chasin away the mice
You got a young and handsome husband comin home every night
But part of you ain't happy 'cus you ain't ever gonna be my wife.

You got on eye on your husband and one eye on your phone
And when you're drivin around town
Only one eye's on the road.
The other's busy searchin
Seeing who you can see
With a wishful thinking hope that one day there'll be me.

Time keeps on a passin and I ain't ever gonna change my mind
But I'll tell you, sometimes darlin I drive by late at night
Makes me glad to know you're in there carryin on with life
But I ain't ever gonna get no closer and you ain't ever gonna see my smile.

Time keeps on a passin and I ain't ever gonna change my mind
But I'll tell you, sometimes darlin I can only ever see your smile.

I took a photo before we met
With a pale blue April sky
Now I know that in the distance, blurred and out of sight
There you are waiting, about to change my life
A few minutes later was the first time I saw your eyes

And that was the start of our falling together in time
the right face met in the wrong time
But we fell together through time
Yes we fall together in time

You were standing watching as I walked through the grass
there began the crossing of our two separate paths
There began this feeling that my life was in the past
The world was shifting on, it wasn’t coming apart

And that was the start of our falling together in time
the right face met in the wrong time
But we fell together through time
Yes we fall together in time

Then I began to follow the path of the heart
It could have been the end, but you took me to the start
We lived in different ways and in different lives
But we blend these separate parts in a meeting of our minds

And that was the start of our falling together in time
the right face met in the wrong time
But we fell together through time
Yes we fall together in time

And that was the start of our falling together in time
the right face met in the wrong time
But we fell together through time
Yes we fall together in time

We keep our distance
Cos we both know
What will happen
If we get too close

You're on the edge
Of my life
Out of touch but just in sight

So we keep our distance
Cos we both know
What will happen if we get too close

Matching milestones
Parallel paths
What could have been shared
Is now lived apart

And we keep our distance
Cos we both know
What will happen if we get too close

Some nights we hold onto each other
But we're in different beds
With different lovers
So we keep our distance
Cos we both know
What will happen if we get too close
Too close
Too close

Mutual friends seem
Closer now
But still it's you
That I think about

That I think about
That I think about

So we keep our distance
Cos we both know
What will happen if we get too close

Your name's the knife
I cannot say
But I wanna cut the air
feel its blade

So we keep our distance
Cos we both know
What will happen if we get too close
Too close
Too close
