Retrograded - Josephine Lyrics

Josephine
You sit and watch the people passing by
You looked up at me
And seemed surprised that you had caught my eye
No one sees you looking for a simple conversation
'Cause everyone's too busy with their eyes glued to the pavement
All I did was smile and wave but I could tell it made your day
We're getting older by the day
Waste time looking over your shoulder
It ain't that scary but that's easy for me to say
You know the days go by like the people passing your apartment
I always look to see if you're outside
So I can say hi
Thanks for the invite
Josephine
Your husband owned a cafe called
"C'est La Vie"
I bet you miss him when you smell the coffee
From the new cafe next door
It's lovely of your brother to help you out around the house
I hope he asks you now and then what you're thinking about
I've only seen you twice now but it's nice out maybe I'll stop by
We're getting older by the day
Waste time looking over your shoulder
It ain't that scary but that's easy for me to say
You know the days go by like the people passing your apartment
I think I will bring my guitar next time
Thanks for the invite
I feel a little older inside now
It's gotten colder out
And I ain't seen your door open in a minute
I'm moving
I don't know when I'll be back in this part of Brooklyn
But like your old cafe, that's life, isn't it?
We're getting older by the day
Waste time looking over your shoulder
It ain't that scary but that's easy for me to say
You know the days go by like the people passing your apartment
I always look to see if you're outside
So I can say hi
Thanks for the invite
