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's 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 cafe
   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
