Stranger At The Next Table

[Куплет 1] You sat down Pulled off your coat Balanced your book On the edge of the world Stirred your cup Counted the clouds Mouthed every word Like no one was around [Қайырма] Stranger at the next table I never stopped noticing you How you circle the rim of your glass When you’re trying to think things through Stranger at the next table I built a life out of these views All these tiny Ordinary moments Where i almost spoke to you [Куплет 2] You laughed once At something you read Tucked that loose piece of hair Back behind your head Checked your phone Then turned it face down Like you chose this corner Over the whole loud town [Қайырма] Stranger at the next table I never stopped noticing you How you tap out invisible plans On the tabletop Lost in the blue Stranger at the next table I drew a map to your mood From the way your shoulders lifted When the sky turned afternoon [Көпір] Maybe you’re leaving tomorrow (hey) Suitcase waiting by the door Maybe you’ve sat here for years And i just started keeping score [Қайырма] Stranger at the next table I never stopped noticing you If you ever catch me staring Just know i’m rooting for you Stranger at the next table If we never share this view I’ll still remember every evening I almost said “hi” to you
