Missed Connection Lyrics

I saw you on the subway platform

You were going west and I was going east

I started to call out to you

But then your train whooshed in between

When I saw your face in the window

My heart — skipped a beat

I looked you in the eye and held up my hand

And as the train pulled away you waved back at me

Trying to find my missed connection

So I took out an ad in the personal section

Hoping to find the girl of my dreams

And as wild as it seems I think I can do it

If only I was going in the other direction

I wouldn't need this way to get your affection

But if I catch your eye in the local newspaper

Well then we'll be together sooner or later

I've been retracing all of my steps

In the hopes I might see you again

Every chance I get I describe

How you look to all of my friends

They're all getting kind of sick of me

They keep telling me I gotta move on

I just say that you're my destiny

And I'm gonna prove them all wrong

Trying to find my missed connection

So I took out an ad in the personal section

Hoping to find the girl of my dreams

And as wild as it seems I think I can do it

If only I was going in the other direction

I wouldn't need this way to get your affection

But if I catch your eye in the local newspaper

Well then we'll be together sooner or later

Sooner or later

Sooner or later

Sooner or later uh-huh

Others seem to find true love

So I know I just gotta believe

That's when I opened up the paper

And saw you were looking for me

Trying to find our missed connections

So we both took out ads in the personal section

Hoping to find the loves of our lives

And what a surprise I think we just did it

If only we weren't going in different directions

We wouldn't need this way to get our affection

But since you caught my eye in the local newspaper

I know we'll be together forever and ever

Ever and ever

Forever and ever

Ever and ever uh-huh

It's no misconception

You're my missed connection

And I'm so glad I found you

So glad I found you

I just gotta believe in love
