Life is passing me by
Through car glass
I am asking why
Because I saw you in the corner of my eyes

I saw you when there could be no way
I saw you running by
I saw you but I could not put the strength together
I saw but did not stay

Life is passing me by
Through car glass
I am asking why
Because I saw you running by my eyes

Tires that did not belong to me
Kept rolling on by
Through a place we both often see
I don’t suppose you saw me?

Anyway
What would I say
What more can I say?

Life is passing me by
Through car glass
I am asking why
Because I saw you but I turned away my eyes

And I cannot say why…..
I met a boy from my neighborhood when I was 12. We held hands in school. We were a "couple". I got scared of being a "couple" and ended it. I regretted it. He was a friend in highschool. He played in a band...oooo. He loved someone else now. I dated someone else. We went to different colleges. He became a Marine. He wrote me while a taught in Honduras. He changed, not a rocker anymore. We met again. He asked me to be his girlfriend. He changed his mind. He loves his troops now more, that's all he cares about. I saw him again in our neighborhood a year later. I guess I was over him. Then I found Jesus. Then I found the love of my life. I will never change again. It was meant to be.
