about

Lou Nevins played bass guitar.

lyrics

They found a booth in the back after the keynote let out
She swirled the ice in her glass it’s just the two of them now
She says what do you think was the time worth the trip
He doesn’t know what to say doesn’t know what this is

But it ain’t, no it ain’t like that
Still it’s nice just to talk and make a new friend
On the same side of life when there’s no need to pretend

They hadn’t known one another but they knew of their work
At the top of their fields but adrift and unsure
They talked about light and the nature of time
He’d read the same books he was kind in the eyes

But it ain’t, no it ain’t like that
Still here they were once again
In spite of themselves
Three days of meetings in a conference hotel

He gets up makes his way through the networking crowd
The food is all eaten and the music’s too loud
He keeps on walking makes his way to the stairs
Leaves her alone afraid that he’s overshared

Because it ain’t, no it ain’t like that
He’s not that kid anymore reckless with hearts
Following strangers into the dark

I think I startled you there walking in as you came out
She says she was thinking of heading back to the hotel anyhow
They talked about kids their spouses their lives
They could have been anyone walking into the night

But it ain’t, no it ain’t like that
It’s a different connection it’s a spark without gas
Sometimes a question doesn’t need to be asked

The years pass like strangers on an airport train
It’s nice to be seen from so far away
It’s not romantic attraction, not the fear of mistakes
It’s the shared secret of wondering the same
Maybe they felt the same

But it ain’t, no it ain’t like that
No it ain’t, not it ain’t like that
