Passerby

Moss Allie

I am a passerby 
Half-smile as you cut in line 
Hold the door to be polite 
You're on your way and I'm on mine 

I don't know the day you've had 
I don't know where your head is at 
You're not a friend of mine 
I am just a passerby 

What if I knew your name? 
What if we had the same home room? 
What if the things that tie us are stronger than we knew? 
What if we'd shared a pint? 
What if we cheered the same team? 
What if these moments between us mean more than we could dream? 
Would I have grace for you and you for me? 

Long days have made us numb 
I don't know where you're coming from 
I can't look you in the eye 
I am just a passerby
