You Could Meet Somebody lyrics

You could meet somebody, you never know 
From brief encounters habits grow 
Into giant oaks that hide the sun 
Life in the shadows ain't no fun 

It's easy getting up there 
Never think of coming down 
Not hard to say "I want you" 
When you're floating on a cloud 
But you know that lonely feeling 
When nothing's going right 
'Cause it's only the beginning 
Of a cold and sleepless night 

You could meet somebody, you never know 
From brief encounters habits grow 
Into giant oaks that hide the sun 
Your only chance is to turn and run 

It's harder getting up there 
And it's painful coming down 
And now you can't see clearly 
Beneath the thunder cloud 
And the loneliness gets longer 
When nothing's going right 
And things ain't getting any better 
With another sleepless night 

You could meet somebody, you never know 
From brief encounters habits grow 
Into giant oaks that hide the sun 
Your only chance is to turn and run
