I Don't Know Your Name

Train tracks are dangerous things
Tie me down to one and that's the end of me.
That's how I felt when I first laid my eyes on you, couldn't believe what I was seeing was true.
The stranger on the train became every thought in my brain
You were the one reading the autobiography of some unknown celebrity, and I secretly hoped that you kept staring at me

I don't know your name
And its driving me insane
I need our stars to align
Baby, I feel it's right this time
I wanna see where this connection will take us but I can't do this
if I don't know your name

Asked around town wondering if anyone knew you.
Knocked on every door, "Have you seen this one from the night before?".
This city is so large, my hopes diminish I'm getting nowhere.
But then, just as the sun was setting over Manhattan, I walked into a bar and there you were sitting

I don't know your name
And its driving me insane
I need our stars to align
Baby, I feel it's right this time
I wanna see where this connection will take us but I can't do this
if I don't know your name
So please, can you tell me?

Walk right up to you, don't know where this courage came from.
"I stalk you on the train to Mid Town, I've been dying to know who you are".
You laugh, a smirk creasing up your left cheek,
I wince, nervous as hell so much so I couldn't believe, "The reason you couldn't find me", he says, "Is because I've been searching continuously for you".

For you. Those two words linger in the air, making my heart thud so heavily.
I was worried you'd be able to hear it.
This couldn't have ended better, by the way, I like that sweater.

Now I know your name
It's so beautiful, it suits you, babe
our stars aligned
Baby, I knew it was right this time
I needed to see where this connection took us and I'm happy as can be
Knowing you are with me.
