The Stranger At The Next Table

[Куплет 1] You came in mid-october Coat still holding rain Laptop Chipped white coffee cup Name scribbled on the frame You laughed into your shoulder At something on your screen I looked like i was reading Tracing margins Stuck between [Припев] You’re the stranger at the next table i never stopped noticing Every quiet tuesday There you are Arriving Leaving I build whole lives from the way you stir your drink Then bite your lip You’re the stranger at the next table i never stopped noticing [Куплет 2] You talk into your headphones Hands drawing in the air Sometimes you twist a silver ring Sometimes you say a prayer Once you cried in early march Wiped your face Stood tall I pretended i was busy Stared straight through the wall [Припев] You’re the stranger at the next table i never stopped noticing Every quiet tuesday There you are Arriving Leaving I build whole lives from the way you stir your drink Then bite your lip You’re the stranger at the next table i never stopped noticing [Бридж] Do you notice how i never order first? (hey…) Give you time to choose How i stay until you pack your bag Then act surprised i have to move Maybe someday when they close this place Chairs turned upside down I’ll ask you how your story ends You might say “Sit down” [Припев] You’re the stranger at the next table i never stopped noticing Every quiet tuesday There you are Arriving Leaving If i ever learn your name Will all this magic start to slip? You’re the stranger at the next table i never stopped noticing You’re the stranger at the next table i never stopped noticing
