Lyrics of Perfect Strangers by Robert Ellis
Perfect strangers
On a crowded city sidewalk buying hotdogs
Standing awkwardly together
Maybe talking about the weather
Maybe talking about nothing much at all
Lonely people
Exchanging glances in the subway station′s turnstile
Hey there Miss I've got a question
Could you help me with directions?
Could you tell me how to get to here form there?
Perfect strangers
Because everything looks better in low lighting
Perfect strangers
There don′t know all of my mistakes
The wounds from every heartbreak I have hiding
It seems the less you know
About a person
Makes it seem as though
They might be perfect
And before you know
You've gone and fallen in love
With a perfect stranger
The day I met you I was sure I'd found the answer
So I promised you forever and we tied ourselves together
Like some rogue three-legged racer on the loose
Five years later
There is something in your touch so unfamiliar
And it seems so hard to recognize you, girl
With those defeated eyes
That used to dance like fireflies in a jar
Perfect strangers
Man, you′re fracturing a thing that once came natural
Perfect strangers
Moving further with each heartbeat
In directions that may not meet up again
It seems the more you try to stay together
There′s a force that pries you apart
How I wish that I had never fallen in love
With a perfect stranger
