Favourite Stranger |
Some times I feel I lost something |
In gaining everything, |
But I can’t put my finger on what it was, |
It’s just one of those nagging feelings, |
Like sitting with your back to an open door |
Waiting on a favourite stranger. |
I find it hard to talk about, it’s not easy |
As you might expect |
Just sitting here waiting, trying to accept |
That there’s something missing, |
That there’s something not quite there |
And that’s why you’re sitting there. |
Listening to me as I try to explain that |
Chorus: you’re my favourite stranger |
But don’t read between the lines, |
I could say that I love you at this moment |
In passing time, |
But I could honestly tell you |
I don’t know why I’m here, |
Sharing all my problems with you |
When you’ve already got your own share, |
From favourite strangers. |
Maybe it’s just I need an audience to Pretend it’s all an act, |
But all I gain is your confidence |
And a number in a filofax |
On the terms that it’s a first name |
That’ll run one day in split champagne |
And I’ll recollect and just accept |
That you were one of my favourite strangers. |
(chorus) |
Sometimes I know I lost everything |
In gaining something, |
But I can’t put my finger on what it was |
Its just one of those nagging feelings |
Like sitting with your back to an open door, |
Expecting favourite strangers. |
