A Chance Encounter (in Cincinnati Tonight) Lyrics

School year winding down with a weekend trip to see
your friend's band play in town
But you look so bored, did you really drive three hours
just to stand around?
No, I don't dance so well, but I'm really pretty good
at sitting down and talking
Let's see if I've got this straight – you like primates
and garage sales?

I've been so alone for so damn long until you came
along

Well, here's something I believe in – fate put you here
in Cincinnati tonight
Ten minutes ago I was leaving – it's a damn good thing
I saw your face in the lights
And I didn't want to go out this evening – but you
never know what choices might change your life
So accept this formal greeting – and let's stay up late
in Cincinnati tonight So it's safe to say we've never seen one such as you
show up on the scene
Funny and intelligent, sarcastic, irreverent opinions
on everything
No, I don't dance too well, but I really like sitting
here with you just talking
How could I not fall in love with you when you tell me
that you like Twin Peaks?

I've been so alone for so damn long until you came
along

Well, here's something I believe in – fate put you here
in Cincinnati tonight
And we'll mark this chance meeting – as the turning
point in the rest of our lives
Sometimes my faith's misleading – but not this time,
this time it's got to be right
So accept this formal greeting – and let's stay up late
in Cincinnati tonight
