A Mistake...or Fate?

I don't know the right words to say to you

In fact I don't know much about you

Except that you are completely true

To what you think you ought to do

I wish we could talk for a minute or two

Just to see what texture is our glue

Do we stick it out or fly away like we never flew



So don't tell me this was a mistake

That I happened to notice you wasn't

Something like fate

I don't believe in that stuff too much

But I think right now I am a little out of touch

These strange feelings are starting to mean too much



Look at me like you pretend you didn't

Don't let me see it so I don't feel strange

Whisper to your friends about what they think

Let them know they are a bit out of sync

That your own thoughts aren't what they think

So let it out, let it out slow

Know this slow motion wasn't meant for slow-mo

Forget what you knew and who you were with

Open your mind to a new kind of song



So don't tell me this was a mistake

That I happened to notice you wasn't

Something like fate

I don't believe in that stuff too much

But I think right now I am a little out of touch

These strange feelings are starting to mean too much



This wasn't a mistake

Call it destiny, call it fate

I know I've seen you before

But I can't make the connection

Not that it matters anymore

Sometimes I believe things do happen for a reason.  I believe that about you
