Supermarket Strangers Lyrics

To different aisles

We were exiled

Now here we are, I'm picking up apples from the shelf as you pass me

Like an apparition

And you float by so effortlessly, without a glance in my direction

And time stops for a minute, let's go back to love and when we were in it

Your hair has grown, but I'd know you anywhere

I wanna run after you, find out if you still care

Would it have been better if you'd seen me too

Don't know if I've thought this through

Cause I knew there was a chance that you'd be here, but I took that chance right into my hands

And it led me to a brand new image of you walking away from me

Which is really not what I need

I'm not naive enough to have never seen this possibility

It haunted my nightmares while you slept next to me

But I didn't think that heartbreak could be quite as mundane

As two strangers in a supermarket

That once shared everything

I was prepared for the weeping and last kiss

And watching you walk away in the pouring rain

Handing over letters, saying goodbye in our favourite place

But no one ever told me I would just buy my apples and leave

And be left with a pounding heart that isn't supposed to be yours anymore

Oh

And time stops for a minute

Let's go back to love and when we were in it

Your hair has grown but I know you anywhere

I wanna run after you, find out if you still care

Would it have been better if you'd seen me too

Don't know if I've thought this through

Cause I knew there was a chance that you'd be here

But I took that chance right into my hands

And it led me to a brand new image

Of you walking away from me

Which is really not what I need

No it's really not what I need
