Sliding Doors

He's writing the crossword so he doesn't notice me
I'm staring across the room and so is she
Looking at you, I wonder
If there's somewhere else you'd rather be

He pays her no attention as he takes another call
I just want to rescue her from it all
I wanna walk right over
Say: "you don't need him any more."

Let's just pretend
We're somebody else
And I was someone
That you want for yourself
No secrets to hide
And we leave the past behind (yeah)

Why don't we just go (oh-oh-ohh ohhh)
Walk right out the door (oh-oh-ohh ohhh)
When we're leaving, we won't look back anymore (oh ohh)
Why don't we just go, go, go. Go, go, go.

If I was to gamble would I win or would I lose?
Tell you where my thoughts are racing to
Is it too much to handle
Or would I be the one you choose?

Let's just pretend
We're somebody else
And I was someone
That you want for yourself
No secrets to hide
And we leave the past behind (yeah)

Why don't we just go (oh-oh-ohh ohhh)
Walk right out the door (oh-oh-ohh ohhh)
When we're leaving, we won't look back anymore (oh ohh)
All the sliding doors (oh oh ors)
That we could explore (ore, ore)

All the lifetimes
When you were mine
That we lived be-fore

We come so close
But you're so far
Still I can't feel everything that you are
You're in my head
You're in my heart
No happy ending if we don't even start

Why don't we just go (oh-oh-ohh ohhh)

That we could explore (oh-oh, ore)

All the lifetimes
