Across the street your smile broke
Like a wave upon my face
You didn't notice me at all
Across the street I saw you
With some other pretty face
I loved you then I love you now
I loved you then I love you now
I had to take a chance
'Cause special moments only tend
To happen now and then
I had to take my chance and
Grab the moment by its ears
Not be just some fly on your wall
Had to take my chance there
So I asked you out to dance there
I loved you then I love you now
I loved you then I love you now
I had to take a chance
'cause special moments only tend
To happen now and then
Live for the present
It's the only one we have
Nobody gets out of here... Alive
Life in the future might never come to pass
You know; the good times are now

    "Across the street your smile broke Like a wave upon my face"

    I love this line, it's subtle, yet effective.

    Fun in Space is a brilliant album

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
