it could have been anyone

could have been a woman or a man.

must have swept her away

made her forget who i am.

it could have been anyone

could have slipped me a drug.

must have been a permanent dose

to make me forget who she was.

it could have been anything

could have been the time we spent alone.

maybe too much time together

maybe too close to the bone.

it could have been anything

any word i might have said.

just a look i might have given just the angle of my head.

but we come we go.

we say that we know.

but we don't remember

and we don't remind each other.

we come we go.

we say that we know.

but we don't remember.

no we don't recognize each other.

it could have been anyone

any rumor passed around.

someone made her doubt me

made her head for higher ground.

it could have been any gesture or word.

maybe something i misstated

something she misunderstood (i would).

we come we go.

but we don't remember.

and we don't recognize

that maybe this time things might work out right.

maybe this time she might catch my eye.

maybe something

anything

could strike me blind

and i might remember her

and she might remember me

this time.

it could have been anyone

anything

the ring around her finger.

it could have been anything

any piece that's shattered on the way.

it could have been anything

anyone

she'll take another lover.

it could have been anything

anything

anything

anything.

we come we go.

but we don't rememeber.

and we don't recognize each other.
