Lyrics Two Strangers - Matt Doyle, Morgan Karr, Jay A. Johnson

Two Strangers

Somewhere in a quiet little nook of this city
Slippin' into somethin' that’s a little less like a disguise
You are not alone here
Open up your eyes
We cannot sleep
We’ll just hold our breath tonight
(Two strangers) Two strangers
Hope don’t matter it don’t matter
TIme will pulse on and tomorrow will come and go (go)
Or at least I’ve been told so
(Two strangers) Two strangers
Lost and lonely
Only nightcap strange strangers
Letting go of a dream (Letting go of a dream)
Waking up from a dream (Waking up from a dream)
Waking up from a half remembered mid-November dream
And somewhere out in Brooklyn
You’re alone and you’re drinkin'
Soakin' up the feeling
That you never felt nothin' at all
Whiskey makes you brood
But that’s your kind of mood
Ooh we cannot sleep
We’ll just hold our breath tonight
(Two strangers) Two strangers
Hope don’t matter it don’t matter
Time will pulse on
Tomorrow will come and go (will come and go)
We’ll be trudging through the snow
(Two strangers) Two strangers
Lost and lonely
Only nightcap strange stranger
Letting go of a dream (La da da de da da)
Waking up from a dream (La da da de da da)
La da da da da da da da
And then it’s over
Just another mistake
Done over
There’s no evidence here
No mark or picture frame
Just a name in a cellphone
Stuck in my head
Smelling a boy in my empty twin bed
Or maybe I’m just conjuring some romance I read
This was not
So magical
You didn’t impress me
Not at all
No
No
Not even a little bit
You were something I wanted to try
And we were happy
For a while
Just like in a dream one late night
Tumbling toward winter
In a perfect autumn luminescent light
You held me tight.
That was all I ever could have asked for
We’ll just hold our breath tonight
(Two strangers) Two strangers
Two strangers
We cannot sleep
We’ll just hold our breath tonight
(Two strangers) Two strangers
Hope don’t matter it don’t matter
(Time will pulse on)
It don’t matter
Ooh
Lost and lonely
Only nightcap strangers
Lost and lonely
Only nightcap strange strangers
La da da da da da
La da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da da da da da
