Brief Encounter Lyrics

Two smiles and a sunset left me wanting more
As supergirl flew overhead you had me on the floor
Breathless in the moment, could not find a way
To take the future by the hands and say what I had to say
I know that we are gonna meet again
I know that we can be the best of friends
Well I knew that I should not just let it end
Right there and then, right there and then
Fools come in all sizes and I meet them every day
Once in every year I feel lucky, if I may
Meet someone who's soul is far from summer's supple sun
When I looked into your eyes I knew that you were one
And I know that we are gonna meet again
I know that we can be the best of friends
Well I knew that I should not just let it end
Right there and then, right there and then
Now I know that we will not give up all that i have got to say
Those words, see you smile again
So I've gone back, the day to day
You keep moving on
I hung the road that takes you far from me, from my sun
Sometimes think I've seen you from the corner of my eye
When I turn to look, I simply realize the lie
That I know that we are gonna meet again
I know that we can be the best of friends
But I knew that I should not just let it end
Right there and then, right there and then

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
