Hello there, good morning. How are you today?
I was wondering if you could spare
Only five minutes of your busy day
I’ve got a deal you don’t wanna reject

Not too bad myself, thanks. How’d you do?
Are you always as direct and true
with any random strangers walking down the road
as when you’re paid to sell your soul?

I would have loved to meet you somewhere else
on a break from the daily grind
Why don’t we just pretend that we never met
and we just leave it all to fate?

Alright then just say what you gotta say
like I had nothing else to do today
You don’t care if I don’t feel like saying a word
if I was dumped just before I came

Imagine we’re just passengers on a train
and your stop was calling next
If I just started talking as you’re walking away
Would you ride with me up to the end?

I would have loved to meet you somewhere else
on a break from the daily grind
Why don’t we just pretend that we never met
and we just leave it all to fate?

Here we go all flocking through the baffle gates
to burn whatever we could earn
There’s still a big void that needs topping up
Now watch your bag. Don’t you lag behind

Come on cut it out. Not thinking twice
You almost got me. Now I’m back on track
Last night I had my stuff all figured out
You gotta travel light so you can fly

I would have loved to meet you somewhere else
on a break from the daily grind
Why don’t we just pretend that we never met
and we just leave it all to fate?
