What Nice To Meet You is about
The opening track of The Art of Loving is about meeting a stranger who feels instantly familiar, as if from another life: "Nice to meet you, but I've loved you once before."
Nice To Meet You lyrics
You walked in like you knew my name
Like we’d already played this game
Same eyes from a different life
Same spark in a different light
I said hi but it felt too late
Like we’d been talking yesterday
Every word just slipped in place
Like time couldn’t erase
Why does it feel like déjà vu
Like I’ve been waiting here for you
Nice to meet you
But I swear I know your touch
Nice to meet you
Why’s it feel like this too much
Like we’ve danced in the dark before
Like I’ve opened this same door
Nice to meet you
But I’ve loved you once before
You laugh and something in me breaks
Like a memory wakes awake
Every move, every little glance
Feels like more than just a chance
Are we strangers or just lost
Two souls counting what it cost
To find each other here again
Like a story with no end
Why does it feel like I’ve been here
Like you’re the echo I still hear
Nice to meet you
But I swear I know your touch
Nice to meet you
Why’s it feel like this too much
Like we’ve danced in the dark before
Like I’ve opened this same door
Nice to meet you
But I’ve loved you once before
If this is the first time
Why does it hurt like goodbye
If this is the first night
Why do I feel you in every lifetime
Maybe we’re just repeating
Something we never finished
Maybe we’re just two hearts
That never really ended
Nice to meet you
But I swear I know your soul
Nice to meet you
Why do I feel so out of control
Like we’ve lived this all before
Like we’re something we can’t ignore
Nice to meet you
But I’ve loved you once before
Nice to meet you
Again
