...the Counter

[Verse 1: MdrnStNick]
Once again, you step through the door just like you did last week
A loaf of bread, some milk, and a cherry pie is all you seem to eat
When you step up and greet me, that smile makes all things dim
But when you say goodbye all I can think is what you'll say when

Ever since the fifth grade when I first met your eyes
I've always thought myself the winner if only you could be my prize
I've tried to become the man that's worthy of your love
But seven long years later, I see to you I'll never be above

[Chorus 1: MdrnStNick]
Just the guy around the corner
The one you've seen, but never saw
A million times we've met each other
Yet you'd never answer my call
Invisibility sits well in the scope of my power
Since the only part of me you see is that kid behind the counter

[Verse 2: Gabby (Poetry)]
As I go to leave, his eyes meet mine in that special way
A smile so bright it could make the darkest night, turn into day
Spreads widely across my blushing face, and the same is said of him
It makes me almost want to believe the thing I know is just a whim

I'll admit that I go to that store more often than not
Especially when I happen to see his car there in the parking lot
I wonder what he'd say if he knew what I think
About this wonderful person I see every week, he's not

[Chorus 2: MdrnStNick & Gabby (Poetry)]
Just the guy around the corner
The one I love to recall
A million times we've met each other
And I remember them all
Invisibility sits well in the scope of my power
I guess to you I'll always just be another girl across the counter

[Bridge: MdrnStNick & Gabby (Poetry)]
Maybe one day she will finally be mine
And if that day comes, it will be so sublime
Perhaps we'll finally have a happily ever after
If only he would close the last and begin another chapter, of not

[Chorus 3: MdrnStNick, Gabby (Poetry), MdrnStNick & Gabby (Poetry)]
Just the guy around the corner
And just the girl across the hall
A million times we've met each other
And today begins it all
Invisibility sits well, but we'll think of each other every hour
Since we'll be lovers who used to be
Just kids behind (across) the counter
