Blindside from Some Others by The Aeons

(setting: Bar One, 91607. Around 11:15pm, 3 drinks in).

At the age of seventeen
I felt what love could be.
From the eyes of a young girl,
and the Way they looked at me.

But we grew
and grew away.
I never got to say,

'Hey,
I'd love you
if I could
I'd love you, if I could
I love you
if I could.
You just hit me from a blindside
you just hit me from a blindside,
you just hit me,
blind, blind, blind.'
---
I met a girl of twenty-four
who'd never been in love before.
Surprises were in store,
when we began to court,
shared some pleasure.

Her heart broke open,
and I was so uncertain.
---
Now in ten years
I'll be wandering
some foreign street
after midnight.
And arm in arm
with her husband,
and shorter hair,
and wiser eyes--
I'll pass by
like a ghost in the night,
she won't know if it's me
or a look alike.

I'll just hit her from a blindside.
I'll just hit her from a blindside,
thinking
'I'd love you
if I only could
yes I'd love you
if I only could.
and if I had some sight
I think I would..
If I'd had some sight,
had some sight...
I know I would...'
--
Now I never see what's coming.
I never see what's coming.
No I never saw what was coming...
