In a short lived stolen moment between coming from and going
On the island of Manhattan where the strangest things can happen
You'll be sitting sipping coffee looking pretty as always
And the sight of you will stop me in my tracks
Oh Samantha, I had plans but
Never knew they needed saying
Oh Samantha, I wrote anthems
Just to drown the sound of waiting
Well I'll ask about your work and you'll ask me how my tours been
And we'll toss those softball questions for a while
But too many years divided can only lead to forced politeness
Check your watch and leave me with a smile
Oh Samantha, I had plans but
Never knew they needed saying
Oh Samantha, I wrote anthems
Just to drown the sound
No need to be forthright
Seem you had a nice life
And I did too
But in the back of my mind
In another timeline
I had a better one with you
Samantha, I had plans but
Never knew that needed saying
Oh Samantha, I wrote anthems
Just to drown the sound
Just to drown the sound
