People We Meet

I need more time to be understood
I'll take your time and I'll make it good
I'll follow your smile to a different place
And trace your lips in a warm embrace

I need more time to be on my own
The in-crowds crowd is a crowd gone home
The streets can tell all you need to know
Of who's been friend and of who's been foe

People we meet
Just walk on by
They paint what they want
And then watch it dry
So colour my eyes
From violet to blue
My body can't lie
When it's close to you

I need more time and my alibi
Is when I dream it's with you I fly high
Over the top of the universe
Then back to earth where it's all rehearsed

People we meet
Just walk on by
They paint what they want
And then watch it dry
So colour my eyes
From violet to blue
My body can't lie
When it's close to you

Like people
People we meet
Like people
Like people we meet
Like people
