From Above

They even looked at each other once across the crowded bar He was with Martha, she was with Tom Neither of them really knew what was going on A strange feeling of never, heartbeats becoming synchronized It's been that way forever but most of the time it's just near misses Or kisses once at a bookstore, once at a party She came in as he was leaving and years ago at the movies She sat behind him, the 6:30 showing of "While You Were Sleeping" He never once looked around It's so easy from above You can really see it all People who belong together Lost and sad and small But there's nothing to be done for them It doesn't work that way Sure we all have soulmates but we walk past them every day And it's not like they were ever Actually unhappy in the lives they lived He married Martha, she married Tom Just this faint notion that something was wrong An ache, an absence, a phantom limb An itch that could never be scratched It's so easy from above You can really see it all People who belong together Lost and sad and small But there's nothing to be done for them It doesn't work that way Sure we all have soulmates but we walk past them every day Neither of them knew what was going on A strange feeling of never, Heartbeats becoming synchronized Stay that way forever Who knows whether that's how it should be Maybe a ghost lived in that vacancy Maybe that's how books get written Maybe that's why songs get sung Maybe we are the unlucky ones It's so easy from above You can really see it all People who belong together Lost and sad and small But there's nothing to be done for them It doesn't work that way Sure we all have soulmates But we walk past them every day Maybe that's how books get written Maybe that's why songs get sung Maybe we are the unlucky ones Maybe that's how books get written Maybe that's why songs get sung Maybe we are the unlucky ones --- From Above - Ben Folds and Nick Hornby
