Glimpse

(Verse 1) Across the quad, a different world, Another school, a different girl. I see you laugh with all your friends, My silent admiration never ends. A fleeting glimpse, a stolen glance, Caught in your orbit, a hopeless dance. (Chorus) Two universities, a river wide, Dreams of us, I have to hide. This love's a ghost, a phantom limb, A melody I can't begin. No chance to meet, no bridge to cross, Just silent pining, counting the cost. (Verse 2) I memorize your daily route, The coffee shop where you hang out. I build up courage, write you a song, But know that I don't belong. The distance breathes, a constant chill, Crushing a hope against my will. (Chorus) Two universities, a river wide, Dreams of us, I have to hide. This love's a ghost, a phantom limb, A melody I can't begin. No chance to meet, no bridge to cross, Just silent pining, counting the cost. (Bridge) Maybe someday, the stars align, And paths converge, like yours and mine. But until then, I'll watch you go, A silent admirer, in the afterglow. (Chorus) Two universities, a river wide, Dreams of us, I have to hide. This love's a ghost, a phantom limb, A melody I can't begin. No chance to meet, no bridge to cross, Just silent pining, counting the cost.
