Touch 'N' Go

We meet new people everyday, some will leave, some 
will stay.
                                                                       My life like this.
                                            I meet a friendly face on the street, our smiles 
exchanging.
                                                       We make small talk and then we leave.
                                                   Sometimes we never see their faces again.
                                                     Somewhere in our minds we remember.

                                                                People only touch ' n ' go.
                                                          People we meet we never know.
                                                      These people have past we never know.
                                                       These people have lives we never know.
                                                                  We only touch ' n ' go.

                                 Sometimes we see these familiar faces in places of 
unexpected quotations.
                                    We ponder our thoughts of remembering. That light goes off, 
we know.
                                                       These are the people who touch ' n ' go.

                                     Some faces will play important roles, some less than others.
                                                                       Nobody knows.
                                                                    We only touch ' n ' go.
