a chance meeting in the middle of an airport i keep it short a handsome man with a strong jaw you take to your grandma i m pretty sure that he d remember me why wouldn t he i know it wasn t long term i catch his eye and i pretend to be surprised everything feels like a secondhand caller everyone trades in with kind regard now the only time i get to see you is an accident and likely fully competent it never happened like a pillar of salt turned back around when we see each other one or the other has gotta run ah guess it s better than pretending to be on the phone i think i still think think about you how are you how s it going good i m fine you look well i d love to speak but i can t i ve been saved by the bell okay yeah and he s back in the migration of travelers different destinations though we all wanna get out of here so i wait for you to turn around and look at where we were trying to get away so i wait for you to turn around and look back to that day i wish i would ve known i would ve run into you i could ve worn my new shoes easiest defense is always back in another life we caught our time together with the skin of a killer s knife now we re both tired and we don t have a second to spare now the only time i get to see you is an accident and likely fully competent it never happened like a pillar of salt turned back around when we see each other one or the other has gotta run ah guess it s better than pretending to be on the phone i think i still think about you settle for simple small talk with you small talk it s just a chance collision carried off by the wind so common sense makes offense when i see you and like a pillar of salt i keep looking around
