You were being watched
as you ate with your girl
I can't help it that
you are a part of my world

Later on, as I was walking home
I saw you runnning by
We shared a glance
and I wanted to cry

The phone rang minutes later
as I walked in my door
It was you on the end of the line
and I was completely floored

(chorus 1)
All I could think of was your face
All I could think of was your glance
All I could think of was you, you, and you
All I could think of was a jaded romance
But mostly...your glance.

One point five seconds, maybe two
Was all I got to see of you
And it was then that I knew
There was nothing I could do

Like a flash it's burned in my mind
I can't see anything at all now
But a look that said everything
The why, the where, when, and how

(chorus 2)
All I can think of is your face
All I can think of is your glance
All I can think of is you, you, and you
All I can think of is a jaded romance
But mostly...your glance.

I know you don't love me
I think it's a look of understanding fear
like you want to be far away
but want to be kept near

Hell, maybe it was a dream
Maybe I woke up thinking it was real
Regardless, I remember it
And I remember everything that I feel

(chorus 2)

Written in late August 2001.  This was inspired by a dream I had about Rob Thomas, and a split second glance we shared.  Not so much the glance, but the feeling it gave me.
