A Song For Strangers

dear stranger
look at us, walking side-by-side like best friends
if i reached out and took your hand
would you play lover with me?

dear stranger
where are you from?
where are you going?
why are you here now?
i want you to tell me.

dear stranger
i wish i could talk to you
i can't find the words, i never can
but, dear stranger, i love you

i don't care if you've done something terrible.
i've done terrible things too.
i still love you
dear stranger

it is my vice, my fatal flaw
to always fall for strangers
the people who i've loved
wander in and out of my life

like shooting stars
like the wind
like summer storms
i still love you.
