Thought I Saw You

Weaving down the torn-up sidewalks
 Wrestling an open mind
 When you look to close, be careful of what you find
 Memories I thought had left me
 Are showing up alive and well
 And with every step, I'm under a stronger spell
 I thought I saw you standing in a crowd
 Shining brightly through the heavy haze
 I thought I saw you; you never spoke aloud
 But something made me want to go your way
 So I turned
 High up on a windy rooftop
 Lit up by a billboard's glow
 We used to look far off at places we thought we'd go
 Now something short of what I pictured
 Is looking like the best I'll get
 Now I've seen too much of what was a silhouette
 I thought I saw you standing in a crowd
 Shining brightly through the heavy haze
 I thought I saw you; you never spoke aloud
 But something made me want to go your way
 I thought I saw you smiling into space
 You had some secret that I wished I knew
 I thought I saw you looking through my face
 The past and future seemed to follow you
 So I turned
 I thought I saw you standing in a crowd
 Shining brightly through the heavy haze
 I thought I saw you; you never spoke aloud
 But something made me want to go your way
 I thought I saw you smiling into space
 You had some secret that I wished I knew
 I thought I saw you looking through my face
 The past and future seemed to follow you
 So I turned
