I wish you would have smiled in the bakery
or sat on a tatty settee
at some mutual friend´s gathering
and the more you keep on looking
the more it´s hard to take
love, we´re in stale mate
to never meet is surely where we´re bound
there´s one in every town
just there to grind you down
I wish I would have seen you in the post office
well maybe I did and I missed it
too busy with a mind on clever rhymes
why not the rounders pitch or the canteen
you´re slacking love, where have you been?
Just had to go and wait until tonight
so give me the invite
don´t worry it´s alright
I wish I would have seen you down in the arcade
sipping on a lemonade in the paper cup and chewing on the straw
and I wish I would have seen you in the bakery
but if I´d seen you in the bakery you probably wouldn´t have seen me
