He Watches Her From Behind
Unspoken Desires: A Melodic Tale of Silent Longing
Lyrics
He watches her from behind
He observes her discreetly from a distance
As she walks across the floor
While she moves across the room
Doesn't move, no
He remains stationary
But his eyes caress her shoulders
His gaze fondly touches her shoulders
While the coffee he bought gets cold
Meanwhile, the coffee he purchased cools down
He watches her from behind
Continuing to watch her from behind
So she knows and she won't turn
She is aware of his presence but avoids turning to face him
But her hands shake
Her hands tremble with emotion
It's a shame she won't see the smile he wears
It's unfortunate that she won't witness the smile he wears
Cause it's only for her he smiles
His smiles are exclusively reserved for her
I guess I knew from the start
The realization dawns that he won't take a leading role
He wouldn't play the main part
He plays a secondary part in the narrative
I guess I knew all along
This awareness was present from the beginning
He would appear in this song
His role is to appear in the context of this song
Pretending this is a film
Imagining the situation as if it were a film
Now a close-up on her neck
A focus on her neck in a cinematic close-up
And some soft lights
Enhanced by soft lights
But the film will no reveal her voice
The film won't capture her voice, as there are no scripted lines
Cause this script doesn't have any lines
Limitations in the script prevent her words from being revealed
I guess I knew from the start
Realizing early on that he won't have a leading role
He wouldn't play the main part
His part is secondary, known from the start
I guess I knew all along
The awareness persists throughout
He would appear in this song
His presence is destined to be part of this song
He watches her from behind
Continuing to observe her from behind
While her girlfriend gives advice
While her friend offers advice
Doesn't listen
She remains indifferent and unresponsive
But her mind's obsessed with one desire
Her thoughts are fixated on a singular longing
How she wants him to see her face
Desiring him to see her face
He watches her from behind
Continues the act of watching from behind
And that's all there'll ever be
That remains the extent of their connection
And don't blame her
She is not to be blamed for the circumstances
Another life or some other cafe
Perhaps in another life or a different setting
And they just might have found a way
There might have been an opportunity for a different outcome
I guess I knew from the start
Reflecting on the earlier realization
He wouldn't play the main part
Reiterating the secondary role he plays
I guess I knew all along
The ongoing awareness of his supporting role
He would appear in this song
His presence is acknowledged within the context of this song
