Still Strangers Sometimes

I was geared up for obscurity

Excited, most specifically

About knowing you'd soon reach for me

And I'd be gone

You always took me to another place

Part childhood, part outer space

But the naked truth of our face-to-face

It's just not what I want

'Cause even when your body gets that close to mine

We're still strangers sometimes

We're still strangers sometimes

And even as you claim that you can read my mind

We're still strangers sometimes

We're still strangers sometimes

Love was supposed to help me find myself

Not just put me through this private hell

That just gets worse each time I tell you

What feels wrong

Just a glimpse of what's achievable

A sympathy unspeakable

Has left me a bit unreachable

For way too long

'Cause even when your body gets that close to mine

We're still strangers sometimes

We're still strangers sometimes

And even if you're still my Dr. Frankenstein

We're still strangers sometimes

We're still strangers sometimes

You spend enough time with a mystery

Its powers start to atrophy

So if you can't get to the heart of me

Let's just walk away

'Cause even when your body gets that close to mine

We're still strangers sometimes

We're still strangers sometimes

And even as we cross each other's borderlines

We're still strangers sometimes

We're still strangers sometimes

We're still strangers sometimes

We're still strangers sometimes
