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
