Mirage

In the distance I saw
What I thought was you
In an unfamiliar shirt
And a new tattoo
As we got closer
I could feel you watching me
There were cops
Talking quietly on the street
So I looked at the ground
And I wondered what
I would say

But then he walked past this
Boy he didn't look like you at all

I wanted to know
If the grass was greener
And if it was
I'd sure like to see her

My horizon was shimmering water
I was gonna jump but
I didn't think I oughta

He didn't look like you at all
It was just a mirage
He didn't look a thing like you

This apparition a product
Of my obsession
I knew it all along
But it was something to go on
An oasis is better than a crisis
I don't know you
You are someone else
