Notes:
“1000 Times A Year” is the number of times each year that I become completely infatuated with a total stranger only to forget about them as soon as they are out of my line of sight. Every now and then I see one of these total strangers again and again, and damn it if I don’t develop a little crush every now and then. This song is for the beautiful woman who used to work at my local supermarket. I have no idea what happened to her, but she stopped working there before I got the chance to introduce myself. It might as well be dedicated to every beautiful woman who ever used to work at a supermarket, considering that I have never introduced myself to any of them.

lyrics
Lyrics:
In case you’re there beyond the automatic doors
I check my style and smooth the wrinkles in my outerwear
And in my mind I cannot help but to rehearse
The line I’d use to break the ice there in the dairy isle
For all I know you are the only one for me
Right there beyond the produce section
Where you’d laugh just like a symphony
Where did you go?
Where did you take your auburn hair?
To grace the patrons of some other chain?
If so I’ll take my business there
1000 times a year
I lose my heart and then she disappears
The feeling’s brief but nonetheless sincere
I’ll fall in love again
I search the aisles for any sign of you
Perhaps today you’re handing out free samples with a golden smile
And if you’re there
An awkward glance cast toward your name-tag for the secret it reveals
Is more than I would dare
What should I do?
We would heat up the freezer section with the warmth of our affection
If I had the nerve to speak to you
Where did you go?
Why did you leave me here to wonder
how a girl like you wound up here underneath the harsh florescent glow?
1000 times a year
I lose my heart and then she disappears
The feeling’s brief but nonetheless sincere
I’ll fall in love again
In case you’re there beyond the automatic doors
I check my style and smooth the wrinkles in my outerwear
And in my mind I cannot help but to rehearse
The line I’d use to break the ice there in the dairy isle
For all I know you are the only one for me
Right there beyond the produce section
Where you’d laugh just like a symphony
Where did you go?
Where did you take your auburn hair?
To grace the patrons of some other chain?
If so I’ll take my business there
1000 times a year
I lose my heart and then she disappears
The feeling’s brief but nonetheless sincere
I’ll fall in love again
I search the aisles for any sign of you
Perhaps today you’re handing out free samples with a golden smile
And if you’re there
An awkward glance cast toward your name-tag for the secret it reveals
Is more than I would dare
What should I do?
We would heat up the freezer section with the warmth of our affection
If I had the nerve to speak to you
Where did you go?
Why did you leave me here to wonder
how a girl like you wound up here underneath the harsh florescent glow?
1000 times a year
I lose my heart and then she disappears
The feeling’s brief but nonetheless sincere
I’ll fall in love again
