Chance

Chance, chance, chance, chanceFriday bank card yours got stuck

I loaned you a phone quarter, said "Good luck"

Where are you now?Me and glasses Saturday slump

You and your shopping, I looked up

Our eyes met, mine are green

You'd had a peroxide thing

Call now, look me upSunday walk, Weaver's Park,

I was on the lakeside

Where the playgrounds meet

In bare feet

You said, "Mighty cold today"

You never see what I think

You didn't like your daytime job

I was born to travelYou were a camera, I dropped my keys

I'm on the northbound, you were asleep

I said, "Are you holding?"

"You wanna ride the silent sky?"

I wrote a story on the fly

You in the tabletop

I said, "I've had enough of the city."I held a bag of apples

You at the last table

I had had a soy dog

Cafe streetside, Tuesday bloom

You wanna be on fire, I said I hung the moonWednesday grocery, corner of Vine,

You were in the checkout line

I dropped my frozen dinners, you helped pick them upThursday cab rush, our block,

You with broken accent, my heart stopped

You laughed, I worryChance, chance, chance, chance

Swarming like a dozen crushing blows

All those glances, midtime dances

ChanceI never looked it up

You hit the sidewalk talking

Said, "I'd read the ads"

Do you?

Where are you? Will you read this? Can I see?

This is surely moving faster than I can thinkA minute shy, a passing eye

I know I saw you there

Will you read this? Can I see? What did I see?

Chance, chance, chance, chance

Swimming like a dozen crushing blows

All those midtime dances

ChanceGuys, this is very tedious...stop!
