I see myself in strangers
On the subway on the street
I find a little comfort when our eyes meet
I know it's rude to stare to long sir
but were we friends three lives ago?
I see myself in strangers
In the people I don't know

But who am I, without you? I don't know, but I want to
Who could I be next to you? I don't know, but I want to

Could you be my perfect stranger
I need a little danger
Lose who you are, we can stay in the dark
And you'll be my perfect stranger

I met you on the corner then you went there in my mind
Creeping to the surface, now I see you all the time
You don't need to know my name no
let's just stay inside the game oh
I see myself in strangers in the people I don't know

But who am I, without you? I don't know, but I want to
Who could I be next to you? I don't know, but I want to

Could you be my perfect stranger
I need a little danger
Lose who you are, we can stay in the dark
And you'll be my perfect stranger
You're a throwback
a bad plan, but this something that I've never had
Tying up some loose threads, cleaning out my head
Mama said don't ever talk to people you don't know about
But I can't help it gonna try it out out out

Could you be my perfect stranger
I need a little danger
Lose who you are, we can stay in the dark
And you'll be my perfect stranger
