Lyrics
You're browsing through a second hand book store
And you see him in non-fiction B through I
He looks up from World War II
And catches you catching him catching his eye
So you quickly turn away your wishful stare
And you take a sudden interest in your shoes
If you only had the courage but you don't
He turns and leaves and you both lose
And I'm talking 'bout the people that you never get to love
It's not as if you even had the chance
So many lives to live and yet so seldom
Do you get a second glance
'Til fate cuts in on your dance
Or you see him on a train that you just missed
At a bus stop where your bus will never stop
Or in a passing Rover as you've just been pulled over
By a traffic cop
Or you share an elevator just you two
And you rise in total silence to your floor
Like the fool you are you get off
And you leave your life behind a closing door
And I'm talking 'bout the people that you never get to love
The poem you intended to begin
The saddest words that anyone has ever said
Are "Oh God what might have been"
But no one says you get to win
Still you're never gonna miss what you don't know
And you don't know who you'll meet at half past three
It might be a certain stranger
Or a someone who looks very much like me
One of the people that you never get to love
One of the people that you never get to love
One of the people that you never get to love
