I wish you would′ve smiled in the bakery

Or sat on a tatty settee

At some mutual friend's gatheringAnd the more you keep on looking, the more it′s hard to take

Love, we're in stalemate

To never meet is surely where we're bound

There′s one in every town

Just there to grind you down

I wish I would′ve seen you in the post office

Well, maybe I did and I missed it

Too busy with the mind on clever lines

Why not the rounder's pitch or the canteen

You′re slacking, love, where have you been?

Just had to go and wait until tonight

(To give me the invite, don't worry it′s alright)

I wish I would've seen you down in the arcade

Sipping on a lemonade

In the paper cup, and chewing on the straw

And I wish I′d seen you in the bakery

But if I'd seen you in the bakery

You probably wouldn't have seen me
