Jinja Safari Accident Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A chance meeting in the middle of an airport, I keep it short
A handsome man with a strong jaw you take to your grandma
I'm pretty sure that he'd remember me, why wouldn't he?
I know it wasn't long-term
I catch his eye and I pretend to be surprised
Everything feels like a secondhand caller
Everyone trades in with kind regard

[Chorus]
Now the only time I get to see you is an accident
And likely fully competent, it never happened
Like a pillar of salt turned back around
When we see each other, one or the other has gotta run
Ah, guess it's better than pretending to be on the phone
I think I still think, think about you

[Verse 2]
How are you? How's it going? Good, I'm fine, you look well
I'd love to speak but I can't, I've been saved by the bell
Okay, yeah, and he's back in the migration of travelers
Different destinations though we all wanna get out of here
So I wait for you to turn around And look at where we were, trying to get away
So I wait for you to turn around
And look back to that day
I wish I would've known I would've run into you
I could've worn my new shoes
Easiest defense is always back in another life
We caught our time together with the skin of a killer's knife
Now we're both tired and we don't have a second to spare
[Chorus]
Now the only time I get to see you is an accident
And likely fully competent, it never happened
Like a pillar of salt turned back around
When we see each other, one or the other has gotta run
Ah, guess it's better than pretending to be on the phone
I think I still think about you

[Verse 3]
Settle for simple small talk with you
Small talk
It's just a chance collision
Carried off by the wind
So common sense makes offense when I see you
And like a pillar of salt
I keep looking around
