Story Behind The Song

Every man has seen "that girl" that they just wonder what it would be like to know her.

Song Description

The premise of the song is about a man who sees a woman every day enjoying the ritual of having coffee and a cigarette at a coffee shop. He fantasies about her - about being with her, talking to her, fucking her.

Lyrics

Do you think I could be
more than the smoke that dissipates into the air
from the cigarette you lit
while you were sitting there

Do you think I could be
more than the sunlight streaming through your hair
when you're sitting on the side walk at the bistro
drinking your coffee there

I passed you on
the boulevard as I was walking in the pouring rain
while you looked so warm and comfortable
under your umbrella in the shade

I smiled at you
you smiled at me
but when you did you did not see
the smile was more than on my face
it was inside of me

Do you think I could be
more than just a passing glance or fleeting look
i could brush away
the fallen leaves and join you in that little breakfast nook

How delightful that would be
seated with a coffee there across from you
we would light out cigarettes and
talk about the weather or the current news

And to think I could be
a shelter for you when if starts to rain again
the only thunder
and lightning you would feel would be when we get into bed

I'll hold you close
but from afar
cause that is what you are
I'll run my fingers through your hair
by imagining them there

I smiled at you
(you didn't see)
