You seek quality, not quantity, that's what I've accepted gracefully
So I smile happily
As you slip a pretty girl your number right in front of me
And I'd like to see you lighter, a little less gloom in your face,
And as much as I would have loved a chance to try, it'll never be my place

So I stop to wonder what this feeling would sound like for sure,
But I know that my countless songs
Don't compare to a stranger's simple word

One step and you were taken, a smile was all she had to do,
And you know I can't really blame you 'cause I'd noticed her before, too
And if you never want what you have, then you'll never want me,
Regardless of who I am or the things that I think

So I stop to wonder what this feeling would sound like for sure,
But I know my countless songs
Don't compare to a stranger's simple word

And you know if I were a little different, things might be a little different,
But then I wouldn't be myself, and this might not seem as real
And you know the closer I get to you,
The farther away I feel
And the only question in the mix was if you felt the spark
Not for your permission to kiss you in the dark
But I guess I was just deluded, so forget everything I said
It must have been some fantastical dream
That I thought up all alone in my head

And if I stopped wondering what this feeling would sound like for sure
