Faavourite Stranger Songtext
von Fish

Sometimes 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
A favourite stranger
I find it hard to talk about
It′s not as 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 here
Listening to me as I try to explain
You're my favourite stranger
But don′t read between the lines
I could tell you 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 and a final thanks
On the terms that it's a first name
That′ll run one day in spilled champagne
And I′ll recollect and just accept
That you were one of my favourite strangers
My favourite stranger
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
Sometimes I know I lost everything
In gaining something
But I can′t put my finger on what it was
It's just a nagging feeling
Like sitting with your back to an open door
Expecting favourite strangers
Expecting favourite strangers
I could honestly tell you
That you're my favourite stranger
I could honestly tell you, cross my heart
That you′re my favourite stranger
