Eva walks to the window, watches as the world passes her by
The she sits on her sofa, and she starts to cry
I'm driving in my car, part of the world that passed her by
I never even met her, but I made her cry

And she's hoping to find out, if she's really real or just a dream
Someone better convince her soon, 'cause she's not gonna be there when I call
No she's not, 'cause she probably was never at all

Eva married a banker, I wish I could have been there
What a beautiful wedding, what a beautiful bride
I'm driving in my car, watching as the world passes me by
I never even met her, and I don't know why

And I'm hoping to find out, if I'm really real or just surreal
Someone better convince me soon, 'cause this isn't how I needed to feel
And I wanted to ask her why, and I wanted her to know that I'm not crazy
I just wanted to ask her why, but I'm not gonna call her on the phone
No I'm not, 'cause I know she's never alone... she likes to sing

And I'm hoping to find out, if I'm almost making sense, or I'm just a fool
If she were here we could talk this out, and she wouldn't even laugh 'cause she knows it's true
And I wanted to ask her why, and I wanted her to know I'm not crazy, I just wanted to ask her why
But I'm not gonna call her on the phone, no I'm not, no I'm not, 'cause I know she's never at home

Two o'clock in the morning, driving half asleep to the radio
The singer sings a lonely song, I start to cry
That's Eva in the song, singing in a band that I used to know
I never even met her, but she made me cry
