Goodbye Stranger

GOODBYE STRANGER

IT’S TIME TO STOP PLAYING --- TIME TO ADMIT --- THAT AMID OUR MAKE-BELIEVE WE NEVER TRULY MET --- THAT ALTHOUGH I LOVED YOU I NEVER KNEW YOU --- AND NOW DISTANT SHORES ARE CALLING OUT --- MORE SOLID LAND IS OUT THERE SOMEWHERE --- AND SO LET’S DRIFT

YOU THOUGHT COINCIDENCE BROUGHT YOU TOGETHER? --- I’VE ALWAYS BEEN THERE --- ALL YOU’VE EVER SEEN ARE MY FINGERPRINTS --- ALL YOU’VE EVER THOUGHT ARE MY MUSINGS --- ALL YOU’VE EVER FELT ARE MY BRUSHSTROKES --- AND NOW I’VE DECIDED TO PULL YOU APART --- AND THAT’S WHY YOU DRIFT

GOODBYE STRANGER --- BETTER TO DRIFT THAN FIGHT --- WE SHOULD SET SAIL AT NIGHT --- AND IN THE DARKNESS A CRUEL TEMPEST MIGHT HOWL --- MY HULL STRUCK AND MY SHIP UNSTEADY --- THROWN OVERBOARD AND ADRIFT IN A VIOLENT EDDY --- WOULD YOU HEAR MY SCREAMS? --- WOULD YOU TRY TO SAVE ME? --- WOULD YOU EVEN CARE ANYMORE?
