He Watches Her From Behind lyrics

He watches her from behind As she walks across the floor Doesn't move, no But his eyes caress her shoulders While the coffee he bought gets cold He watches her from behind So she knows and she won't turn But her hands shake It's a shame she won't see the smile he wears 'Cause it's only for her he smiles I guess I knew from the start He wouldn't play the main part I guess I knew all along He would appear in this song Pretending this is a film Now a close-up on her neck And some soft lights But the film will no reveal her voice 'Cause this script doesn't have any lines I guess I knew from the start He wouldn't play the main part I guess I knew all along He would appear in this song He watches her from behind While her girlfriend gives advice Doesn't listen But her mind is obsessed with one desire How she wants him to see her face He watches her from behind And that's all there'll ever be And don't blame her Another life or some other café And they just might have found a way I guess I knew from the start He wouldn't play the main part I guess I knew all along He would appear in this song
