Song Description

The singer wishes he had gotten the name of a woman he met briefly by chance in the city.

Lyrics

I meant to say “What’s your name?”
I meant to see her again
Strangers who meet may not meet again
And I meant to say “What’s your name?”

I meant to write down her phone
And try calling later from home
Strangers share cabs in urban rain
And I meant to say “What’s your name?”

One must make choices in this life
(If you’re ready or not)
When if you hesitate you lose
One must take chances in this game
And I meant to say “What’s your name?”

Clear skies by end of this day
I walk home past where we met
Strangers who meet sometimes meet again
And get to say “What’s your name?”
