at a diner down on broadway they make small talk
when she brings his eggs and fills his coffee cup
he jokes about his love life
tells her he's 'bout ready to give up
that's when she says

i've been there before
keep on lookin'
cause maybe what you're lookin for is...

chorus:
somebody in the next car
some body on the mornin train
somebody in the coffee shop
that you walk right by everyday
somebody that you look at but never really see
somewhere out there
there's somebody

across town in a crowded elevator
he can't forget the things that waitress said
he usually reads the paper
but to day he reads a strangers face instead
it's that blue eyed girl
from two floors up
maybe she's the one
maybe he could fall in love with

chorus:
somebody in the next car
somebody on the morning train
somebody in the coffee shop
that you walk by everyday
somebody that you look at but never really see
somewhere out there
there's somebody

now they laugh at the moment that it happened
a moment they both missed until that day
when he saw his future in his eyes
instead of another friendly face
and he wonders why
it took so long
when she was always there
at that diner waiting on

chorus:
somebody in the next car
somebody on the morning train
somebody in thecoffee shop
that you walk by every day
somebody that you look at but never really see
somewhere out there
there's somebody

yeah.....somewhere out there, there's somebody............
